CHOCORART — Local services in Cahuita

Oh my goodness! If this was just a tour, with educational, scenic, and historical bits, it would have been worth it. If it was just a culinary experience, it would have been worth it. We saw parrots, and a dartfrog, heard howler monkeys. On our walk through the jungle, David took us through the history of chocolate production. We learned about the trees, the fruit, and the plants that Chocorart grows alongside their coao trees that give the chocolate its deep, rich flavor. We tried (so cool!) garlic vine leaves, cilantro, grapefruit, pepper, and cacao pod fruit. Why the fruit is not used more, I do not know. So mango tasty! It would make an excellent natural side flavor in the chocolate. We got to see and taste all the steps in hand production of chocolate, and try out the process. Cocoa over bananas is tasty, cocoa with coconut very nice. Honestly, I would pay for the tour again to have that cup of that hustoric cocoa-esc drink. Yum! True Chocorart art. Muchas gracias, David! Muchas gracias, Chocorart! It will be a...

We texted through WhatsApp to reserve our tour spot. It was that simple . We walked around the farm and had a taste of a few different fruits/ herbs on the farm and learned about the cacao history in the area and the process of making chocolate. We got to taste the chocolate at different states of the process. People can also participate in helping grinding the cacao seeds. They smell amazing by the way. At the end, We bought a few chocolate to try. The chocolate is a healthier version for sure but too grainy for my taste and a bit bitter for my kids. In all of the flavor we tried , my daughter and I liked coconut flavor. My husband liked organe peel. And my son liked mints. The highlight of the tour for me was at the end when I got to try the tiny red miracle fruits that made sour lemon taste sweet. So weird but what an experience. I loved it so much lol Also I bought a frozen bottle of cacao pup juice. And I thraw qnd drank it the next day. OMG it was so good. It was pricey for a juice but...

It was a rainy day and we passed by this place and stopped on a whim. The tour has happening in 5 minutes, so we bought tickets and drove to the nearby farm. We were met by a tour guide and worker who took us for a walk through the cocoa plantation. He cut fresh cocoa pods and we ate the fresh pulp inside. We also tasted termites and saw bullet ants. At the end of the walk we saw the process for making chocolate from start to finish. We had a cup of the best hot chocolate I’ve ever tasted that contained only water, sugar, and cocoa and a juice that was freshly prepared from some tropical fruit I’ve never heard of before. It was amazing and you will not be...
