Trinitario cocoa

Trinitario cocoa is a hybrid variety of cocoa bean that combines traits from two main types, Criollo and Forastero. Originating in Trinidad, it was developed to combine the fine flavors of Criollo with the strong, disease-resistant qualities of Forastero. This variety is now widely cultivated in regions like the Caribbean, Central America, and Southeast Asia. Trinitario beans are prized for their complex flavor profiles, which often include fruit and floral notes. They are commonly used in high-quality chocolates, balancing nuance and robustness for a superior tasting experience.
