Organic Cacao | Trinitario | beans | raw 50-52%

What is it about / Product description

Organic Trinitario cocoa from Ecuador consists of whole, raw cocoa beans with a natural fat content of around 50–52%. The unpeeled beans in bulk form show an intense cocoa brown and are suitable as a base for high-quality chocolate and cocoa specialities.

Thanks to controlled organic cultivation, careful fermentation and gentle drying, the typical aroma profile of this fine cocoa is largely preserved. Biova places great importance on consistent raw cocoa quality so that the beans can be reliably integrated into professional recipes.

Whether bean-to-bar chocolate, desserts or the production of your own cocoa nibs and powder – organic cocoa in bean form offers plenty of scope for individual creations. You determine the roasting and processing yourself and adapt the cocoa precisely to your products and applications.

Origin

The Trinitario cocoa beans come from Ecuador, a traditional cocoa-growing region with a tropical climate and nutrient-rich soils. These conditions promote a balanced aroma spectrum that is characteristic of fine cocoa from this region.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The cocoa trees are cultivated according to organic guidelines without synthetic pesticides or mineral fertilisers. After harvesting, the beans are fermented, gently dried, cleaned and packed as bulk goods with a total weight of around 1.05 kg per kg of organic cocoa.

Special features

Trinitario combines characteristics of Criollo and Forastero cocoa and thus offers a harmonious, aromatic profile. The raw, unpeeled beans are delivered as chunks or whole beans, allowing you to control the entire processing chain yourself, from roasting to the desired degree of grinding.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the growing region within Ecuador, fruitiness, acidity and bitterness vary slightly. Fermentation time, drying and storage additionally influence the sensory properties, enabling you to set targeted accents in your Biova chocolate and cocoa products with your own roasting profile.

Taste & aroma

Typical of organic Trinitario cocoa is a multi-layered aroma with notes of dark chocolate, fine bitterness and subtle fruity nuances. Nutty and slightly floral hints as well as an intense, cocoa-typical scent underline its fine cocoa character.
