Chocolate made from rare Criollo cacao (Barlovento region)

There is cacao that carries within it the spirit of the land where it was born. Criollo Barlovento is a legacy of Venezuela’s coastline—a region where cacao has been cultivated for centuries. Here, in the warm and humid climate of the Caribbean Sea, one of the world’s most refined and rare cacao varieties is born. Criollo accounts for only about 1% of the global harvest, and every batch is a treasure preserved by farmers who continue the traditions of their ancestors.

A rare variety with character

Criollo Barlovento is cacao with a soft, deep, and noble taste. It is distinguished by natural notes of dried fruits, a light woodiness, nutty sweetness, and a warm, velvety chocolate tone. This cacao needs no enhancers—it unfolds on its own, slowly and in layers, leaving a long, rich aftertaste.

Only 3 ingredients — nothing extra

• Criollo Barlovento cacao beans • natural cocoa butter • coconut nectar


No lecithin, flavorings, emulsifiers, or white sugar. A pure taste created by nature and craftsmanship.

Flavor profile

Dried fruits • Nutty sweetness • Light woodiness • Deep chocolate tone

The taste is soft and rounded, without sharp bitterness—a characteristic feature of true Criollo. The chocolate unfolds in layers: first warm nutty notes, then dried fruits, and in the finale—a deep, clean chocolate accent.

Benefits confirmed by nature

Criollo is rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and trace elements. Coconut nectar is a source of iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium. This is a dessert that can be called mindful indulgence—rich taste without compromises.

 

Craft production in Latvia

Each bar is handmade in our workshop in Daugavpils. We conche the chocolate for up to 72 hours, controlling the texture and aroma at every stage.

This is not mass production—this is chocolate made with attention, respect for the raw ingredients, and love for the craft.

SIA SWEECO  2020
Limited Liability Company  “SWEECO” has signed an agreement with Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA) on Incubation support within the framework of the ERDF     Project No. 3.1.1.6/16/I/001 “Regional Business Incubators and Creative Industries Incubator”.
             
At SIA “SWEECO”, the digitalisation project No. DIGI/2025/4037 is being implemented with the support of the European Union Recovery and Resilience Facility (NextGenerationEU). The total project funding amounts to EUR 9,990.
Within the scope of the project, the company acquired a Pomati SL16 chocolate tempering machine, which was delivered in April 2026 and installed at the production facility in Daugavpils, 18. novembra iela 103‑2. The equipment is intended for automating the chocolate production process, ensuring a stable temperature regime and consistent product quality.
The introduction of this equipment has significantly improved the organisation of the production process — the amount of manual work has decreased, quality control has improved, and overall operational efficiency has increased.
The project contributes to the digitalisation of the company and complies with the requirements of the European Union, as confirmed by the attached certificates. The project is financed by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Facility (NextGenerationEU).
