Rio Caribe 72% originates on the eastern coast of Venezuela, near the Paria peninsula. This territory also gave the cacao its historic commercial name, Carupano.
The cacao is a Trinitario hybrid and one of Domori’s historic cacaos. Within Hacienda San José, Domori created a specific cultivation area dedicated to Rio Caribe, designed to preserve and enhance local cacao hybrids.
Rio Caribe stands at the very heart of the Domori cacao heritage and represents a fundamental chapter in the brand’s history, closely connected to Gianluca Franzoni’s years of work and research in Venezuela.
The flavour profile is distinctive and precise, marked by tangy red fruit notes of currants, with a slightly bitter and astringent character. The cocoa expression is intense and persistent, revealing a strong and unmistakable identity.
