Cocoa Beans OCUMARE (Criollo Blood) Origin "Venezuela" - F1, Raw, Fermented, Vegan

Sourced from the Aragua coast of Venezuela under the Canada Cacao Co. Ancestral Criollo Lineage Selection (Criollo Blood) program, OCUMARE cacao carries a significant proportion of ancestral Criollo genetics — one of the rarest cacao populations in the world. Grown in a narrow coastal valley where the Caribbean mountains meet the sea, these beans express exceptionally low bitterness, clean acidity, and layered floral and fruity aromatics. Fermented and dried using traditional methods, then packed in GrainPro bags to preserve moisture stability and flavor integrity during transit. Each lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Origin & Authenticity co-signed by Agrícola Lamboean (Quality Control & Origin Validation) and Canada Cacao Company (Director), certifying single-origin traceability, hand-selection, natural processing, controlled fermentation, and verified Criollo genetic content. No additives, no blending with commodity cacao.
