Hacienda San Josè located on the peninsula of Paria, Venezuela. It is a sub-clone of Ocumare 61, a recent criollo, planted in 1998. An impressive undertaking.
It is the first example in the world of a recent criollo cocoa that has been recovered, comprehended and interpreted in its terroir and fermentations. It demonstrates a extraordinary step in research and fine taste. Puertomar has notes of cream, spices, almonds and cherry jam with excellent smoothness and sweetness.
