Default Criollo cocoa powder?

Are you sure it's Criollo and not Griollo?

Quoting from the wrapper for a Valrhona LE NOIR AMER
71% cacao bar:

"LE NOIR AMER by Valrhona: is made of refined blending
of selected cocoa beans, Trinitarios and Griollos origins,
enhancing their rich flavors . . .".

Is this a spelling error, an acceptable spelling variation, or
are Criollo and Griollo two different things?
