Description

From the remote island of São Tomé in the Gulf of Guinea, in a climate and territory ideal for its cultivation, ICAM selected one of the finest African cocoas.

Characteristic chocolaty profile, aromatic and intense. Begins with a subtle, vague acidity, and a pleasant touch of astringency. The strong bitterness comes out straight away, together with the wide range of aromas typically found with cocoa, with undertones of tobacco. Finishes off with a lingering sensation in the mouth and a final balanced bitterness.
