BEANS: ECUADOR CAMINO VERDE

Description

Camino Verde is a key player in the cocoa industry, based in Durán, near Guayaquil, Ecuador. Led by experienced microbiologist Vicente Norero, we take an innovative approach to post-harvest cocoa bean fermentation. With our expertise in microbiology, we use enzymes and inoculants to develop a range of unique flavor profiles, creating chocolates that stand out for their complexity and authenticity.

Our cocoa beans, including Neo-Nacional Bio, represent an improved version of the pure Nacional, strengthened to resist diseases without compromising its taste characteristics. This advanced fermentation process ensures that each chocolate bar produced from our beans offers a distinctive taste experience, making each creation unique.

The beans we grow are also found in our Ténébris chocolate pastilles and Camino Verde bars. These products reveal fruity flavors of blackberries and red fruits, enriched with woody notes of almond, fudge and cocoa, as well as a subtle floral sweetness. Ténébris is a refined dark chocolate, designed to seduce chefs and artisans looking for exceptional quality and diversity in their creations.
