This fine cocoa is the result of the dedication of 86 small farmers in the Choloma region of Cortés, in the stunning landscapes of Honduras. Each bean comes from regenerative agroforestry systems that combine organic practices with innovative harvesting and post-harvest techniques. The result is a true treasure that embodies the richness of Mesoamerican heritage.
