Maker Comments | Seven years ago, I was the first craft chocolate maker to use cacao from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia - the world's tallest coastal and glacial mountain with all of the Earth's biomes on it. In 2019 I met Pedro Bolivar, a 3rd generation cacao farmer who says he has "cacao in his blood." He gave me a big kiss and shed a joyful tear when he heard of the 18 chocolate awards I won with his cacao - especially three golds. I love this chocolate's flavor complexity of fruit, caramel, nut and spice. Sierra Nevada cacao deserves to be in the limelight for specialty chocolate and I am proud to help earn it recognition. |
