Feliu Chocolate - Criollo Rioja 73%

This chocolate boasts the unique flavor of Mexican Criollo cocoa, featuring a creamy white interior that imparts a delicate ocher hue to the chocolate. This cocoa variety is a rarity, known for its exceptionally smooth and slightly nutty profile with minimal bitterness.

The Creole cocoa variety has been cultivated in Mexican fields for centuries, meticulously chosen by farmers from diverse backgrounds. Today, these precious cocoa trees are a scarce presence, scattered across the land. Only the La Rioja farm in Chiapas maintains a small, exclusive orchard dedicated to this single variety, the source of the chocolate Feliu crafts.

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
