Cocoa beans

from West Africa

Cocoa beans from West Africa have a special and recognizable aroma. Variety Forastero (which means “foreigner” in Spanish) is the basis of all recipes and products from cocoa. West African beans have a characteristic sour bitter and astringent taste. Trees of this variety are very resistant to diseases and pests, so they are the most prolific. Forastero accounts for 90% of the world cocoa bean crop. If you need high-quality cocoa for the basic production of chocolate products, then Forastero is your choice.
