Amedei Porcelana

This cocoa bean, a genetically pure strain of the highly-prized Criollo, is native to Venezuela and may have been grown there in the pre-Columbian era.

[9][10] Porcelana cocoa was called "Maracaibo" in colonial times, since it was primarily exported from that Venezuelan port community.

[9] Today, many of these Mexican and Colombian cocoas have disappeared and have been replaced by more disease-resistant hybrids.

[1][2][3][5] Porcelana is included in the Golden Opulence Sundae, a $1,000 dessert sold at the Serendipity 3 restaurant in New York City and mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records.

[5] Porcelana is also used in making the most expensive cupcake, the Golden Phoenix, which is made by Bloomsbury's, a boutique cafe in Dubai.
