In the [[Sambirano|Sambirano region ]] all three types of cocoa grow: Criollo, Forastero and Trinitario. Criollo is a rare species, which only grows in rainy regions such as at the foot of the mountains in the Sambirano valley. Criollo is a very sensitive and not very fruitful species. Compared with the other cocoa species, the Criollo pods have an uneven surface. The beans have a delicate flavour which is especially suitable for chocolates with a high percentage of cocoa. A cut Criollo bean has an almost white colour inside.
