What is Jamaica chocolate known for?
Jamaican chocolate tends to be full-bodied and robust, with warm spice, dried fruit and a deep cocoa backbone from the island's Trinitario cacao. Production is small compared with mainland origins, which makes single-origin Jamaican bars relatively rare and distinctive.
Jamaica's Trinitario cacao gives bold, rounded bars with spice and dried-fruit notes rather than sharp acidity. The island has a long cacao history, and its beans have a loyal following among makers who want depth and warmth.
Because Jamaica grows far less cacao than origins like Ecuador or the Dominican Republic, single-origin Jamaican bars are something of a find. When you see one, it is usually worth tasting.
