ABOUT THE REGION:

A Denomination of Origin since 2012, the 86 cacao farms certified organic and  comprising about 10,927 tareas (690 ha) in Los Bejucos share special attributes  that contribute to this origin’s distinct personality. Warmer than hilly El Ramonal,  the entire area is irrigated by three underground rivers, and there is perfect soil  drainage even in the flat lower region. There’s something seductive about this  flavor profile, a powerful yet round blend of satisfying cacao, rich dried fruits like  prunes, walnuts, a hint of black olives, and fresh berry notes.
