Cacao
Feb 26, 2025
I do not have a sweet tooth; I am not a big dessert fan, and I am not a fan of chocolate. If you were to put a piece of bread and a Hershey bar in front of me and tell me I could have one, I would choose the piece of bread and not think twice about it. I went on this tour because, in general, I like learning about food, where it comes from and how it is made. Although I had been to a Hershey’s and Cadbury’s factory, I don’t think I had ever seen a Cacao farm.
I booked this tour thinking it would be interesting; by the end of the tour, I was blown away. I left with a whole new appreciation of chocolate. The tour lasted over three hours, we saw how Cacao grew along with vanilla beans. We got to taste chocolate that was produced on the farm side by side with chocolate from different parts of the world. It reminded me of a wine tasting with different chocolates with different nuances and characteristics.
All of it was fascinating and the farm itself is a small tropical paradise!
