Forastero & Trinitario







Forastero originates in the Amazon in Africa. This variety is strong in classic Chocolate flavor but does not have the ability to enhance secondary flavors like Criollo does. Trinitario is native to Trinidad, hence the name. It came from the combination of both the Criollo and the Forastero. This cocoa has a wide variety of flavors, in other words, it is commonly used as a secondary flavor enhancer. So if creating a candy or dessert, use Trinitario cocoa in combination with vanilla, mint, or caramel flavors and the end result will be most satisfying. Cacao trees are very difficult to grow. They will only grow 20 degrees north and south of the equator. If temperatures drop below 6o degrees, the tree will most probably werbemittel become damaged.
