The cocoa beans produced by the Barinese cocoa farmer Juan Bautista Tunarosa in Barinas, which won the Cocoa of Excellence Contest for their quality and excellence, will represent our country in the international cocoa competition to be held in Paris, France.
This information was released by the deputy of the Legislative Council of Barinas Maigualida Santana, noted for the support she provides to the cocoa producer in her state.
Santana explained that this contest, in which the physical and sensory quality of cocoa beans from all the states of the country was evaluated, seeks to promote the quality of cocoa and all its variety of flavors.
In addition, he stressed that all the countries that will participate in the international cocoa contest work to improve the quality of life of small cocoa farmers and the recognition of their crops.
Meanwhile, the French Embassy in Venezuela congratulated the Tunarosa family and legislator Santana in an Instagram post for promoting cocoa plantations in Barinas state.
The best cocoa in Venezuela is in Barinas
The winning cocoa, which will participate in the International Cocoa Contest in the city of Paris, France, is produced by cocoa farmer Juan Bautista Tunarosa on his farm in Barinas.
And when this triumph was in the news, the Venezuelan chocolate house Cakawa recalled in an Instagram post that one of its chocolate bars is made with this cacao, which is a Trinidadian with acid fruity and nutty tones, and which is produced in the town of Chuponal, Pedraza de Barinas municipality.
In October 2020, Cakawa's Barinas tablet won an award from the Agency for the Valuation of Agricultural Products in Paris.
