Forastero Cocoa Beans

Forastero Cocoa Beans

Forastero is the most common variety of cacao, comprising around 80% of the world’s total production. Forastero cocoa is known for its strong, robust flavor profile. It ranges from mildly bitter to quite acidic depending on where it is grown. Forastero is grown primarily in West Africa, which produces more than two-thirds of the world’s cocoa.
