Cocoa is grown and made into chocolate right here, where I live, in Costa Rica's Caribbean. I recently went to an Indigenous, Bri Bri, Cacao House to see a demonstration of traditional chocolate making. You can read all about it and see photos here: travelexperiencecostarica.com/2010/

I am In Barva... is there any way to obtain the product in my area? I am a chef/owner of a boutique hotel and would like to incorporate local ingredients into my cuisine. Thanks!

Hola Rob,
I will check into it for you. I am sure there is a way you can get some natural chocolate. I'll ask about it and get back to you.

In the mean time, check out my web site to find out more about what the Caribbean has to offer. Also, what is the name of your hotel? I have a friend I sometimes visit in San Jose de Los Montañas and that is near Barva.
