Umbu is a soft fleshed fruit, green/yellow in color, and sweet and sour in taste. It is the size of a large grape, soft like a ripe fig, and juicy like a tomato. The umbu tree is the most important tree in the Caatinga Biome – it is harvested in the wild by families that deliver them to cooperatives to get turned into preserves.

Dark chocolate made with cacao from the Amazon
My first chocolate bar made with cacao from the Brazilian Amazon. The notes of this bar are very distinct from all the cocoa that comes from Bahia, a very pleasant surprise.
In the last 5 years that I have been living in Brazil, I have dedicated my chocolate production to working with cacao from Bahia because Bahia is a cacao producing, well-oiled machine. Always reliable and dependable. The opposite of what occurs in the Amazon Rainforest. Cocoa producers are always at a risk of harsh weather and travel delays, making cocoa production quality a coin toss, and storing and shipping cocoa unpredictable.
I have been lucky enough to acquire this amazing cocoa from the Amazon but the saddest part is that there is no clear answer if I will ever have access to it again, and if I do, if it will be the same quality. So please enjoy while it lasts!
