Where does it come from?

The beans used to produce this cocoa come from the sunny Dominican Republic, from regions such as Yamasa, Bonao, Hato Mayor, and Gaspar Hernández. The uniqueness of this product lies in its carefully selected blend of varieties:

• 70% Trinitario – provides balance and depth of flavor.

• 20% Forastero – responsible for a strong, cocoa base.

• 10% Criollo – a rare variety adding noble, subtle notes.

Flavor profile

Dominicana Banao is a cocoa with a distinct, "semi-sweet" character that stands out from milder varieties. Its flavor profile is complex and intriguing:

• Dominant notes: Intense, earthy cocoa flavor.

• Accents: Noticeable spices, such as black pepper and cinnamon, enriched with notes of dried fruit.

• Character: It has a delicate bitterness, which is well-balanced and does not overpower the natural sweetness of the bean, creating a harmonious whole typical of high-quality Caribbean cocoa.

Thanks to its spicy profile, Organic Dominicana Banao Cocoa is perfect not only as a traditional hot beverage but also as an ingredient in baked goods requiring a deep chocolate flavor (e.g., brownies, gingerbread).

It is also an excellent addition to milkshakes, smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurts, where its intense aroma can fully unfold.
