Idilio
The Spanish word “idilio” signifies a short, poem celebrating the romance of living at one with nature, a sweet, experience, a small treasure. It stands for harmony with nature, the diversity of a mixed cultivation, of tropical plants and fruits, the devoted care and harvesting of the finest cocoa beans, their careful fermentation and sun-drying by small-scale enterprises.
Origins
Idilio concentrates on selected, single-origin and superior cocoa varieties, working directly with the local producers and personally taking charge of the demanding transport of the cocoa beans from their place of origin to the Swiss, chocolate production facilities.
Premium Swiss Chocolate
Swiss chocolate owes its typical melt-in-the-mouth character to the worldwide exclusive technology of finish rolling and conching. For the criollo cocoas, they employ the traditional “long” conche, which no modern stirring method can match when it comes to gently, unfolding the exquisite flavours of the superior cocoa varieties.
The chocolate: Idilio No 4 / 8, Carenero Urrutia Superior (70%)
The rambling Hacienda Urrutia in Barlovento to the east of Caracas, produces an exceptionally fine Carenero Superior, a Trinitario, variety whose name is derived from the former export harbour of Carenero. Superior is a long-established quality classification. The selection from the Hacienda’s harvest is oriented towards optimum, fermentation and drying of the cocoa beans as well as the purity of the Trinitario fruit variety. The chocolate is distinguished by a bouquet of fine, fruit notes. Despite the high cocoa content of 70%, it appears very, mild and sweet. Although it contains nothing but cocoa and cane, sugar, a taste of fresh vanilla is often discernible.
