Created from the fine flavour Trinitario cocoa beans from a single years harvest at the San Juan Estate (Gran Couva plantation), found on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. This 2006 vintage chocolate provides predominant flavours of roasted almonds and hazelnuts with slight notes of spice. Very little tart fruits, unlike the Ampamakia, and much less sweet than the Palmira.

Valrhona's own description of this chocolate bar:On the Caribbean island of Trinidad, on the Gran Couva domaine (San Juan Estate), grow cocoa beans that are among the world's finest:Trinitarios. Starting with the finest lots that the estate produces, we have selected cocoa beans that promise the greatest aromatic pleasure. Only a limited quantity is available. A taste that is round, balanced, not agressive. An initial sensation in the mouth that is all gentleness, a powerful increase in the aromas of roasted almonds and hazelnuts. A note of spices.
