Surfisch Peces del Caribe

Sarrapia – Tonka Bean (Dipteryx odorata) Surfisch Caribbean Fish's flagship product: authentic **Venezuelan sarrapia**, also known as "tonka bean," from the rainforests of southern Venezuela (mainly the Amazon region and Bolívar state). Our sarrapia is harvested sustainably and in the wild by local farming communities and collectors with whom we have maintained direct relationships for over 15 years. This proximity guarantees complete traceability, rigorous hand-selection, and consistent premium quality. Key product characteristics: - Whole seeds, naturally sun-cured and dried using traditional methods to preserve their intense aroma. - High coumarin content (responsible for its unique and powerful fragrance). - Complex and seductive aroma: dominant notes of natural vanilla, bitter almond, toasted caramel, marzipan, fresh hay, mild tobacco, and subtle hints of cinnamon and plum. - Warm, sweet flavor with a slight bitterness similar to cocoa, ideal for infusing or grating. - Presentation: Whole beans selected by size (large/medium), clean and free of impurities. Vacuum-packed or in jute/burlap sacks to preserve freshness and aroma during transport. Main uses in the industry: - High-end perfumery and fragrances (natural fixative and gourmand note). - Gourmet food: desserts, artisanal chocolates, ice cream, liqueurs (vodka, gin, infused rum), fine pastries, and premium beverages. - Natural cosmetics and aromatherapy. - An exotic and sustainable alternative to vanilla. We offer a 100% natural product, without additives or chemical processes, with potential for organic/sustainable certifications currently in progress.
