Beni Wild Harvest 66% BIO Zartbitterschokolade

Beni Wild Harvest is a 66% dark chocolate made from wild, hand-picked cocoa from the Bolivian Itenez river basin in the Amazon Delta. This delicate chocolate has delicate notes of floral honey, apricot and jasmine.

The Beni region in the southwestern part of the Amazon basin covers 75,000 km² and is characterized by extreme environmental conditions: the seasons vary between periods of fires and floods of biblical proportions; accordingly, the air is filled with either acrid smoke or heavy steam. Mystical islands, thickly overgrown with cocoa trees, are like points in the savannah.

This chocolate is made from wild cocoa beans that grow on the "chocolate islands" of the Itenez basin grow in the Beni region of the Bolivian Amazon . During the rainy season, the experienced pickers take boats for weeks to the places where this rare cocoa grows. Only they know the secret places that stretch over a region half the size of Europe. The beans are much smaller than other beans and must be processed in machines with special roasting technology in order to bring out their extraordinary aromas.
