Criollo is one of the types of cacao varieties -- probably closest to the varieties a few hundred years ago. They're susceptible to disease, and hard to grow.
Most cacao is forastero, a little bit is forastero-criollo hybrids called trinitario, and a tiny bit is criollo (... which probably has a good bit of hybridization in it).
