The fermentation process

Our Hispaniola beans are fully fermented and sun-dried.

During fermentation, the cacao pulp clinging to the beans matures and turns into a liquid, which drains away and the true chocolate flavor starts to develop

We use three-stage

box methods

for fermentation.

Cacao Paste stay on each box for 2 days (6 days total). When fermentation is complete, the wet mass of beans is naturally sun-dried.

Why Fermentation?

The principal effect of fermentation is to eliminate or drastically reduce acidity and to increase the cacao's flavor density.
