| Maker Comments | Grown solely in Ecuador, "Arriba" is the only cocoa varietal with a perfumed floral scent before roasting the cocoa bean. Its flavor is smooth, nutty, with a long dominant chocolate note and no bitterness or acidity. To transmit the purest Arriba flavor, we did not add vanilla covering aroma. Our chocolate bars have a high content of cocoa solids, less cocoa butter fat and a lower glycemic index. The cocoa beans are roasted slowly to preserve the high antioxidant levels of pure cocoa. |
