Organic raw Trinitario cocoa beans 50–52% fat

Product description

Discover organic Trinitario cocoa from Ecuador in whole, raw cocoa beans with a natural fat content of around 50–52%. The unpeeled beans have an intense cocoa-brown colour and are ideal as a base for premium chocolate and cocoa specialities.

Controlled organic cultivation, careful fermentation and gentle drying help preserve the typical flavour profile of this fine cocoa. Biova focuses on consistent raw cocoa quality so the beans can be reliably integrated into both industrial and artisan recipes.

Whether for bean-to-bar chocolate, desserts or for producing your own cocoa nibs and cocoa powder, organic cocoa beans offer plenty of scope for individual creations. You control roasting and processing yourself and can fine-tune the cocoa precisely to your products, drinks and baked goods.

Origin

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

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The cocoa trees are grown according to organic standards without synthetic pesticides or mineral fertilisers. After harvesting, the beans are fermented, gently dried, cleaned and packed as bulk in bags with approx. 1.05 kg per kg of organic cocoa.

Characteristics

Trinitario combines traits of Criollo and Forastero cocoa and therefore offers a harmonious, aromatic profile. The raw, unpeeled beans are supplied as pieces and whole beans, allowing you to control the entire processing chain from roasting to grind size.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the growing area within Ecuador, fruitiness, acidity and bitterness vary slightly. Fermentation time, drying and storage further influence the sensory properties, enabling you to set targeted accents in 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, along with an intense, cocoa-typical fragrance, underline the fine cocoa character of the whole beans.
