Unexpected flavors from Vietnam
The beans are mainly sourced from the Mekong Delta, often referred to as Asia’s ‘Little Venice’. Belcolade closely collaborates with small, family-owned plantations, which cultivate their beans with tremendous care. Each tree is always carefully selected, grafted, cultivated and maintained, safeguarding the unique flavor of the beans. This region’s terroir is ideal for cultivating Trinitario cocoa. The soil’s low pH lend the cocoa its delicious acidic bite.
Thanks to the unique Cacao-Trace fermentation process, Belcolade has managed to retain the Trinitario bean’s natural acidity and awaken the unique flavor notes within. The local fermentation experts in the Bê’n Tre Province always guarantee the full expression of the bean’s flavor.
