(1) criollo, the best in cocoa, has a unique flavor, but its output is scarce, which is equivalent to Arabica coffee beans in coffee beans, accounting for only 5% of the global output; Mainly grown in Venezuela, Caribbean, Madagascar, Java and other places.
(2) Rastero, which has the highest yield, accounts for about 80% of the global output, and has a pungent and bitter smell, which is equivalent to Robusta in coffee beans, and is mainly used to make ordinary chocolate; Cocoa beans from West Africa belong to this category and are also widely cultivated in Malaysia, Indonesia and Brazil. This kind of beans need intense baking to make up for the lack of taste, which is why most dark chocolates have a burnt taste.
(3) Trinidad, a hybrid of the above two species, was named after its development in Trinidad. It combines the advantages of the first two kinds of cocoa beans, and its output accounts for about 65,438+05%. Like Creole, it is regarded as a treasure in cocoa and used to make high-quality chocolate, because only these two kinds of beans can provide the acidity, balance and complexity of high-quality chocolate.
African cocoa beans account for about 65% of the world's total cocoa beans, and most of them are bought out by the United States in the form of futures, but most African cocoa beans are Buddha Rastero, which can only be used to produce ordinary and popular chocolate; European high-quality chocolate producers will choose the best cocoa beans from high-quality cocoa plantations, and some even have their own farms, such as VALRHONA, a famous French chocolate producer.
