This relatively new Italian manufacturer of chocolates concentrates on two things: the quality of the cocoa bean,
and the quality of the manufacturing of the cocoa beans. They use strictly first class beans, "cru", and sugar.
That's it...no vanilla (or vanillin) , no soy lecithin and no added cocoa butter. In the chocolate world, this is big news!
Their line features several sizes of bars and some gift and novelty items including cocoa beans!
A 75 gram bar in the 70% Cru Line, Apurimac beans are from Peru. This South American country is coming on strong lately as foodies search for, and are finding, top quality products in new locations. 15 bars to a box.
Domori makes only one milk chocolate bar, and it's a winner. Very creamy chocolate, with the slightest bit of crunchy French sea salt to set off the flavor. 75 grams, 20 bars to a box in the Style Line.
Another bar in the Style Line (all 75 grams), Granella is a blend of Venezuelan cacaos (60%) with bits of crunchy nibs for texture and an extra hit of chocolate. 20 bars to a box.
A blend of beans from Madagascar (naturally!)goes into this Style Line bar (70% cacao)- try "comparing and contrasting" to the Single Origin Sambirano from Madagascar. 75 grams each, 20 to a box.
60% Central American cacaos reunited with their Aztec/Mayan soul mate, chili pepper. The little extra sugar here helps marry the flavors. 75 grams from the Style Line, 20 to a box.
Small 8 gram tasting pieces individually wrapped in a counter top box. The variety includes: Carenero Superior, Sur del Lago, Arriba and Sambirano gran crus. These are all 70% dark chocolates from different regions, taste and see how "terroir" affects chocolate. There are 240 squares per box.
An assortment of several of the Domori Single Origin 70% Dark Chocolates. There are 20 tasting squares from each of the following Venezuelan regions: Rio Caraibe, Sambriano, Sur del Lago, Carenero Superior and Esmeraldos. Each of these 8 gram squares will give you a clear example of how flavors can vary from the differnet bean-growing regions. (100 X 8 gram squares, about 1 3/4 lbs)
These small 25 gram bars are made from cocoa beans from a single plantaion, or chateau. These beans are from a newly rejuvenated hybrid, Ocumare 61 and there is 75% cacao. There are 24 bars per display box.
The flavorful criollo bean is featured in this collection of 25 gram bars. The Porcelana 70% bars are favored by cacao enthusiasts and many think this bar is Domori's crowning achievment. There are 24 bars in the display box.
An exquisite Wooden gift box featuring 4 blends using the reknown OCUMARE Cacao Hybrid which Domori has brought back to life at the San Jose Hacienda in Venezuela. There are 5 - 25 gram bars of each blend representing 60%, 70% 80% and 100% of this famed cacao. (totalling 500 grams) There is also a DVD with the story of the growing and processing of the cacao.
