THE AUTHENTIC & UNEXPLORED FLAVOURS OF CHOCOLATE
Xoco Gourmet is the only chocolate maker to plant cacao for variety. This changes everything in the flavour of the chocolate. From a simple, industrialised product, it becomes alive and vibrant with flavours from the cacao fruit.
Our professional chocolate varieties
Each of the cacao varieties we identify and grow form the basis of a chocolate couverture. Besides Mayan Red and Tuma Yellow, we have already identified more varieties that we are currently growing, and these will be released in the coming years. We present our chocolates with no frills, no additives, no vanilla. Just pure chocolate.
Mayan Red is the name that we gave to our first variety, coming from Honduras. Its taste is full-bodied and intense, with notes of red fruits.
Tuma Yellow is our second cacao variety. Originating from the jungle of Nicaragua, this variety reveals complex floral and yellow fruit notes.
