Lumineux Chocolate
70% Venezuela
These cocoa beans are from the state of Merida in Venezuela, where it is believed to be the origin of criollo cacao. The cocoa beans are grown by the Esteves family and other local producers in the region. This cocoa has deep and beautiful flavors that connect nostalgia to the modern chocolate experience. The notes of red fruit jam and roasted almonds are enhanced by a shortened grind time, which adds texture to the finished chocolate.
