Carenero Superior
A cacao growing region in Venezuela.
A Venezuelan trade designation for Trinitario cacao shipped historically through the port of Carenero in Barlovento. Like several Venezuelan names it is a commercial classification rather than a strictly geographic one, and material sold under it comes from a wider area than the port's immediate hinterland.
Does the name carry a designation?
A historic port designation rather than a controlled geographic one.
Material sold as Carenero Superior is not confined to the port's immediate area, and the name carries no verification.
