Nacional Arriba Cocoa beans
Martinetti Cocoa works closely with 3 local farms in the Quevedo area, which have cocoa trees that are 40 and 50 years old. These farms still preserve the essence and tradition of the true "Arriba" National cocoa, delivering one of the few fine aroma cocoa beans in the world.
Together with an arduous but meticulous in-house fermentation work, we can offer a unique product, promoting direct and fair trade with our farmers and sustainable practices with our environment.
Our Cocoa Bean´s Flavor Profile
A delicate smell of hazelnut and cream is the prelude to a surprising dark chocolate. The tasting opens with that floral richness that only Nacional cacao knows how to deliver, made of orange blossoms, magnolia and jasmine flowers. Hints of coconut and vanilla arrive right after to enrich the chocolate with extra sweetness, while a decisive flavor of walnut hugs the palate. Thanks to little astringency and very low acidity, the aftertaste is a satisfying cocoa note with infinite nuances. A true journey of flavors for the palate.
Nacional Arriba Cocoa Liquor
Single Origin
Also known as cocoa mass or cocoa paste is the base ingredient of every dark chocolate. It is produced from our cocoa beans that have been fermented, dried, roasted, and separated from their shell. The beans then are ground into cocoa mass and the heat created by the grounding process, also called refining process, melts the product to become liquid.
Primary Use: Premium chocolates whose production requires a cocoa bean of exclusive origin with the highest aromatic quality.
Fact: The name Liquor is used not in the sense of a distilled, alcoholic substance, but rather the older meaning of the word, meaning 'liquid' or 'fluid'.
Packaging: 15 kg box or 25 kg bag

Our award-winning and recognized chocolate couverture is produced in-house, with the latest harvests from our local farms of pure national cocoa. We use natural cocoa butter, pressed from the same national cocoa used for the couverture, ensuring quality and single origin of the product. We can make personalized roasting recipes, as well as couverture percentages from 60% to 100% cocoa.
