$0.00

Trinitario cacao in Cameroon is a hybrid variety that blends the robustness of Forastero with the nuanced flavor profile of Criollo. In Cameroon, Trinitario thrives in the central and southern regions where climate and soil conditions support its development. It typically produces beans with complex flavor notes—often fruity, floral, or mildly spicy—making it a desirable choice for fine or specialty chocolate. While Cameroon’s cocoa sector has traditionally leaned toward bulk production, pockets of Trinitario cultivation are gaining recognition for their quality and flavor potential, especially among smallholder farmers and cooperatives focusing on improved post-harvest practices. MOQ 10MT.
