  1. Your chart about Criollo, Forastero and Trinitario is overly simplified and outdated. Cacao types are much more diverse. I learned about this stuff at C-spot, a pretty good source of information about all this (http://www.c-spot.com/atlas/chocolate-strains/). You should add them on your list of links.

  2. hi, thanks for the comment, those are the three main varieties but now there are lots of hybrids and as the link says they are strains.

    I will feature those other strains next time as I delve more into chocolates.

    Although what I have seen chocolate makers use to label their chocolates are the more usual/common variety. And as chocolate eater myself, I would really find it so amusing to eat a chocolate made from EET, ICS or IMC67, too technical for me. I just want to enjoy my chocolate. But I am open and hope to learn and be able distinguish those strains and hybrids from the 3 main varieties.
