Criollo 70%

Domori is a bean-to-bar company based in Italy that centers its production around fine cacao varieties. The Criollo 70% bar is a testament to the focus on high-quality genetics, specifically sourcing the rare and prized Criollo variety from Venezuela. This approach reflects a philosophy that prioritizes the intrinsic qualities of the bean.

The sensory profile of this 50 gram bar is defined by a minimalist ingredient list consisting solely of cocoa paste and brown sugar. By avoiding additives such as lecithin, vanillin, and vegetable fats, the bar allows the natural characteristics of the Venezuelan Criollo beans to remain the focal point. The result is a straightforward, unadulterated expression of the cacao bean.

The production process maintains a standard of purity, emphasizing the genetic heritage of the Criollo variety. While the manufacturing process is designed to showcase the cacao, consumers should note that the facility processes other ingredients, meaning the bar may contain traces of milk, nuts, and soy. With an energy content of 557 kcal per 100g, this bar serves as a concentrated example of Italian bean-to-bar production.
