CANOABO 76%

This chocolate offers a mild, cocoa-like and woody profile, a profile previously absent from the PLAQ chocolate range. It's an easy-to-eat chocolate with virtually no sour notes, unlike many of our other chocolates.

The chocolate flavor is intense and enveloping, reminiscent of an almost caramelized chocolate cake, like a very comforting brownie.

The woody notes come at the end of the palate, they are round and sweet (hence the balsamic reference).

Caramelized notes of brown sugar, nuts, dried (raisins) and candied fruits evoke a Christmas cake or fudge on a slightly balsamic (sweet woody) background.

2 INGREDIENTS. NOTHING ELSE.

Canoabo cocoa beans from Carabobo Venezuela (76%) and organic blonde cane sugar from São Paulo State Brazil (24%). Cocoa 76% minimum. Lecithin-free. No added cocoa butter.

This chocolate is vegan.

Hacienda San Cayetano is located in the Canoabito region, in the heart of Carabobo State, Venezuela. Surrounded by lush nature and built on a terroir with a cocoa-growing history spanning over 300 years, this family hacienda now embodies a dream come true. Luis Morales, of Chilean origin, worked for 30 years in the glass industry before giving it all up to dedicate himself to his passion: chocolate. With his son Rodrigo, he decided about ten years ago to plant his first cocoa trees in the fertile lands of San Cayetano. Production began in 2012, and today, nearly 7,000 trees flourish on the hacienda's plots and surrounding areas.

The terroir of Carabobo offers exceptional geographical and climatic conditions. Cocoa trees grow there in the shade of local trees, while exotic flowers promote natural pollination. This unique microclimate directly influences the aromatic profile of the cocoa, revealing subtle notes of nuts and brown sugar.
By incorporating this new Venezuelan bean into one of our PLAQ bars, we are proud to support the work of a committed family and to showcase an exceptional cocoa, cultivated with passion, patience, and dedication.
