Trinidad 80% stick

In the year-round tropical climate of Trinidad, the southernmost Caribbean island, fine cocoa trees grow and thrive, giving our fine cocoa chocolate 'Rausch Plantagen Trinidad 80%' a very special and intense aroma. The high-quality fine flavor cocoa from there accounts for only 0.01% of the world's cocoa harvest, making it a real rarity among cocoa varieties.

This is what Trinidad 80 % tastes like

- Slightly bitter
- Refreshing and nutty
- Delicate sweetness on the finish

Columbus was denied a cocoa sensation

Off the north coast of South America, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, cocoa plants grow the finest quality cocoa in the world.

The Trinitario bean has only been found in Trinidad for around 300 years. This is probably why Columbus named the island after its three distinctive mountain peaks when he discovered it - Spanish for trinity - and not after the valuable fruit.

Taste of the Caribbean

The Trinitario bean needs the unique tropical climate on the island of Trinidad. Year-round daytime temperatures of 30 °C, dense rainforest and the close proximity to mango and citrus trees give the cocoa and therefore our 'Rausch Plantagen-Schokolade Trinidad 80 %' a particularly mild, fruity aroma.

You will be struck by the strong, malty cocoa note as soon as you open our plantation chocolate. The rich character of Trinidad fine cocoa is also reflected in the color of our chocolate products: A deep brown coloring makes the mouths of insatiable "chocoholics" water.

Slightly bitter and nutty at the same time, with a delicate sweetness on the finish, the 'Rausch Plantagen-Schokolade Trinidad 80 %' spreads across the palate. The unmistakable interplay of the tropical climate, the exposed location of the plantation and the excellent soil conditions are the reason for the full-bodied taste of the fine cocoa from Trinidad.

"Tres" - the magic number, even in chocolate production

Only on the forested Montserrat plateau, a small part of Trinidad, do we find the perfect conditions for Trinitario No. 1 fine flavor cocoa. The fruit from there accounts for just 0.01% of the global cocoa harvest - a true rarity.

Only fine cocoa and cane sugar - that's all it takes to turn the valuable raw material from the southernmost Caribbean island into an exclusive luxury food. We focus on the best possible quality at every stage of production:

The local partners in Gran Couva obtain cocoa fruits from sustainable cultivation, and they reach our chocolate manufactory in Berlin without any middlemen. In line with the 'direct trade' approach, we never leave the cocoa bean's side, from the plant on the plantations to the point of sale.
