TASTE TAKES TIME
In a world that seems to be more concerned with speed over quality, we like to work by a different mantra: more haste… less taste. Because growing cocoa mustn’t be rushed.
It takes between two and four years for a tree to mature and start bearing fruit. It takes six months for a pod to be ready to harvest, and once the cocoa has been harvested and the pods emptied by hand, it takes about seven days to ferment and another week or so of drying in the sunshine for the beans to be ready.
There are no shortcuts, and we wouldn’t want to take any if there were. That’s why our chocolate tastes so good – because we take our time to make sure we get it exactly right.
