It is very popular with connoisseurs - our 'Rausch Plantagen Trinidad 80 %'. The aromas naturally play a particularly important role, especially in a fine flavor chocolate with such a high proportion of fine flavor cocoa. Rausch Plantagen Trinidad 80 %' has a strong cocoa flavor with a nutty, fruity note and malty undertones.
We source the fine cocoa for our darkest fine cocoa chocolate from the San Juan Estate in Trinidad and Tobago - our partners Kailash and Quincy Winklaar.
They were recognized by the Cocoa of Excellence Program at the International Cocoa Awards 2017 for their fine flavor cocoa. The fine flavor cocoa from San Juan Estate is one of the best 50 fine flavor cocoas. They received a certificate of recognition for this.
The two are delighted with the award and we are delighted for them:
