Vida cocoa originates from a single farm that brings together local and newly introduced varieties. In a mission for recuperation of local cocoa genetic identity, post-harvest is done on a moderate scale on farm level. It has a mellow character, with sweet notes of caramelized apple, sweet plantain, and cotton candy alongside with high cocoa and pecan nuts flavor. The brown fruit flavor is long lasting and lingering astringency is perceived as aftertaste.
