Description
This ancestral cacao is the product of ‘Tuqtuquilal’, a regenerative center that uses reforestation to empower cacao growth. The collective is focusing on the exchange of information to develop sustainable living solutions for the benefit of the local Q’eqchi community and visitors alike. The center is a start-up NPO that processes cacao without the use of agrochemicals.
The collective’s focus on breed selection allows them to distribute highly aromatic criollo hybrid beans that are carefully fermented, dried, selected, and processed without the use of electricity. This is the work of a farmers’ cooperative involving 10 families.
