Taste Profile

AGL4 from Oscar's farm presents a distinctive deep, dark European chocolate taste profile that speaks to the heritage of 80-year-old Criolla trees. This cacao is exceptionally buttery—so rich and smooth that it literally wraps around your tongue, creating a luxurious, velvety mouthfeel that lingers long after the first taste.

The flavor profile is characterized by its intense chocolate notes with subtle undertones of earth and wood, reflecting the mature trees and regenerative farming practices. The buttery texture is complemented by a smooth, low-acidity finish that makes this cacao ideal for both ceremonial use and premium chocolate making. This is a cacao that demands to be savored slowly, allowing each layer of flavor to unfold on the palate.

Perfect for those seeking a traditional, rich chocolate experience with exceptional mouthfeel and depth.
