The Cocoa Bean Cocoa beans are cultivated worldwide in the tropical rainforests of Africa, Asia and Latin America, mostly in the tropical belt between 10° north and 10° south of the equator. There are hundreds of cross-breeds that exist today, but these all derive from three primary cocoa species:
Criollo Criollo yields extremely rare cacao with an exceptional flavour. It represents less than 2% of the world’s production. Criollo is found in the Caribbean and in Latin America, in particular Ecuador.
Forastero Forastero is a very robust cacao tree. Easier to cultivate, it yields “bulk cacao” that gives chocolate its familiar basic taste. Almost all African plantations consist of Forastero varieties.
Trinitario Trinitario combines the best of Criollo and Forastero. This cross has fairly good resistance to plant diseases and strong winds.
