A 74% Venezuelan dark chocolate by Idilio Origins, crafted from rare Porcelana Criollo cacao beans sourced from the Zulia region.
Idilio Origins is a Swiss producer dedicated to the preservation and highlighting of specific cacao varieties. This bar, named Porcelana Criollo Puro 74%, focuses on the genetic heritage of the Porcelana Criollo bean, which is widely regarded for its quality and historical significance. The beans are sourced exclusively from the Zulia region of Venezuela.
The production process prioritizes control over post-harvest development, utilizing a fermentation period that lasts 144 hours. Once the beans reach the facility, they undergo roll refining to achieve the desired texture. The final composition is straightforward, consisting only of cocoa mass, cane sugar, and cocoa butter, ensuring that the profile of the Porcelana bean remains the focal point.
Recognition for this specific bar includes multiple awards from the Academy of Chocolate. It received a Bronze Medal in 2011 and a subsequent Silver Medal in 2017, reflecting the consistent approach taken by the maker in handling this particular origin and variety.
