We source our cacao from different communities of Tabasco and Chiapas.
Description
Cacao beans – Tabasco
A blend of hybrids. We source from two main areas: Chontalpa region, which is a plain region and the main cacao production area and comprises Comalcalco, Cunduacán, Cárdenas y Huimanguillo. The second area is the highland and plain areas in the Teapa region and Chiapas border.
We work with 4 fermentation centers, all certified for quality and traceability.

Cacao beans – Soconusco
This is the product of the effort of farmers from the Tuzantan community, a mountain in the Sierra Madre. Notes of chocolate, wild berries and red berries.
We call them Soconusco Comunitario because they come from a community of farmers, called ‘El Vado’ located in Tuzantan, Chiapas. This community gets it’s name from the ford (vado in Spanish) in which they are located, which is midway in the mountain of Tuzantan. The soils here are very clayey and during rains are almost intransitable. It is between 350-500 masl. And the cacao is brought down by foot and sometimes with horse.
This is the home of about 20-35 small farmers. These are old cacao plantations with no plot- divisions and with community paths. Some farmers are starting to renew plantations slowly. This community is dedicated to cacao, coffee, grazing and honey.
Soconusco has 15 counties, divided in 3 areas: coast, high and low region. In the low region it normally takes about 6-7 days to get a good fermentation, whereas in the high lands, depending on profile, protocol and season, it takes about 5-6 days to get fermentation.

Vinagre pulque
Produced from the fermentation of pulque in glass or stainless steel. The sap or mead with which pulque is produced comes mainly from the traditional variety of maguey pulquero called MANSO (Agave salmiana var. salmiana), although sometimes it can take mead from other traditional varieties such as AYOTECO, CHALQUEÑO and ASH (These varieties belong to the same species as the MANSO). Pulque maguey crops are kept in chemical-free spaces and with good management practices, friendly to the environment and respecting the magueyera tradition.
