Ecuador
Exceptional and rich floral aromas from Ecuador
Cocoa is the heart of Ecuador. Its highly prized “Nacional” variety has grown there for over 5,000 years and is one of the first cocoa trees to be cultivated. With its floral aroma and complex flavor profile, it's no wonder it was one of the most coveted luxury products by European chocolatiers in the 18th and 19th centuries.
We mainly use Nacional cocoa, known for its delicate floral notes of jasmine, or Arriba, which means "at the top" in Spanish. Nacional cocoa takes you to a higher level of taste. We favor Los Ríos and Esmeraldas beans, known for their incredible floral notes. Esmeraldas cocoa is strong, while Los Rios cocoa is a little less intense and has a subtle earthy essence.
