The full collection, which also includes the rare 'wild' Bolivian Cocoa, first introduced to the UK market by Demarquette in 2008, represents a truly sumptuous long-haul journey of highest quality cocoas - an unprecedented 'Taste the World Through Chocolate' experience!
Generally, experts distinguish between two grades of cocoa beans: Commodity cocoa (Forastero) and Noble-grade cocoa (Criollo and Trinitario). Naturally even these beans will vary in quality depending on origin and variety and over the centuries man has cross pollinated and bred the cocoa trees especially for flavour and yield to suit industrial production on a larger scale.
There is of course no question about the high quality of chocolate made from the rare Criollo bean used by luxury chocolatiers around the world including Marc Demarquette. But up until 2008, the UK had never been introduced to a grade A chocolate made from a pure Wild cocoa bean from cocoa trees which remain totally untampered by man. These Wild cocoa trees grow in an underdeveloped and hard to reach Amazon region of Bolivia on raised areas of land, which stick out like small islands in the middle of the swampland.
Marc Demarquette hand-moulds the wild chocolate into individual bars as well as creating a wild chocolate ganache as part of his 'Demarquette Pure Range' of Single Origin chocolates.
