STORY

This cocoa is grown in the north of Cuba, in the Baracoa region, where 75% of Cuban cocoa is grown. The art of growing cocoa has been passed down from generation to generation and the farmers know how to predict the weather, prepare the soil, twist the branches and fertilise the soil organically, etc. Thus, productivity is relatively high compared to other countries. In Cuba, the
genetics are classified into traditional varieties, hybrids and grafted clones. This selection of beans comes from traditional and Trinitario varieties. After being collected from various farms, the cocoa is fermented and dried in collection centres. All exports are controlled by the government.
