Idilio No 2 Selección Amiari Meridena

No. 2. Seleccion Amiari Merideña, 72% 48 hours traditional conched, Zulia, Venezuela. Winner of the 2011 Gold Medal of the Academy of Chocolate!

Idilio stands for connection with nature, the diversity of the mixed culture of tropical plants and fruits, the utmost care in the cultivation and harvesting of cocoa beans, the careful fermentation and drying in the sun. In Spanish, the word “idilio” means small poem that sings of the romance of living close to nature, a sweet experience, a trifle. Idilio’s vision resulted in a numbered series of tablets.

For this chocolate, Idilio selected only the best beans from quality-conscious small cocoa farmers from the famous “Sur del Lago” region north of the university city of Merida in Venezuela. To bring out the beautiful aromas contained in this chocolate, the unique “langreiberconche” is used in its preparation in Switzerland.
