Cacao Barry - Rare Origin Venezuela - 72% Everything about this chocolate is rare... A union of subtle harmony, it blends highly aromatic Criollo with Trinitario from the famous Venezuelan regions of Barlovento and Paria Peninsula. The resulting pungent flavor is both tangy and fruity.

In 1646, Alonso de Ojeda discovered the Warao indians,or "dugout canoe masters". Their well-designed stilt homes may have inspired the name for Venezuela: "little Venice". Rich in both culture and vegetation, this precious land is still home to same of the rarest hundred-year-old cocoa trees in the world.
