Cacao Betulia provided samples produced under local practices. Basic information regarding the genetics and post-harvest practices was shared. Four samples were sent including the principal pure clones B6, B8, B9 as well as one additional blend “Mixtura”.
Analysis of preliminary dry cocoa bean samples can provide us with an understanding of how diverse the local practices are and what their impact on final flavour is.
Based on these results, basic preliminary protocols can be developed and applied in the field on an experimental level. Tastings of fresh pulp and chocolate, as well as morphology of raw beans give additional supportive information for the protocol steering.
