Carenero Superior
Carenero Superior is an exquisite cocoa from Barlovento, the central region of Venezuela near Caracas.
It seems to be a very well fermented Trinitario but has the character of a Criollo. Carenero refers, as mentioned above, to the name of the export harbor from where the cocoa was shipped in ancient times. The adjectival complement Superior means that the beans are of higher quality.
