Dried macambo beans ( Theobroma bicolor) have a mild, nutty flavor that is quite different from cacao.The flavor is generally delicate and low in bitterness, with a soft earthy background and a slightly savory finish. Because of their gentle profile, macambo beans are often enjoyed as a snack or used as an ingredient where a nutty, mellow flavor is desired.
Our macambo is wild harvested by local families. The beans are hand peeled as soon as the fruit falls from the trees. The peeling is done overnight, so that they can arrive at the first hours in the morning to our facility and tasting room in Archidona. There they are washed, dehydrated and slightly roasted, and packed. One of the best treats of the rainforest, while promoting sustainable agroforestry practices in the native communities.
