Domori Criollo Ocumare 72% – Venezuelan Fine Flavour Dark Chocolate
Domori Criollo Ocumare 72% is a single-origin Venezuelan dark chocolate couverture made from Criollo cacao grown in the Ocumare region. Supplied in drop format, this 72% chocolate offers depth, complexity and recognisable origin character suited to refined chocolate and pastry applications.
The Character of Ocumare
Ocumare cacao is known for its layered flavour development. This couverture expresses notes of caramel, tobacco, walnut, papaya and dates, with subtle earthy undertones that give it structure and presence.
It is darker in profile than fruit-led origins, delivering intensity without sharpness.
Made from Rare Criollo Cacao
Criollo is one of the original cacao varieties and is significantly less common than bulk cacao types. It is valued for its smooth melt and aromatic complexity.
In this 72% couverture, the balance of cocoa, cane sugar and cocoa butter allows the flavour to remain defined while maintaining professional versatility.
Suitable for Professional Chocolate Work
The drop format enables accurate scaling and controlled melting, making it ideal for:
• Enrobing and moulding
• Complex ganache
• Premium praline centres
• Chocolate-forward desserts
• High-end pastry components
If you’re looking for a Venezuelan dark chocolate with structured depth and layered flavour complexity, Criollo Ocumare 72% offers a distinctive alternative to standard blended couverture.
