On our Classic Cacao Tour, you’ll learn the steps necessary to make quality cacao. It all begins with the sowing. You can sow your own cacao plant, learn about the harvest, the splitting of the pod and the extraction of the beans. Then we continue with the post-harvest process: fermentation and drying, which are determining factors in the quality of the chocolate. Learn about the Dominican Republic’s ecosystem and why it offers the perfect conditions for growing fine cacao which is transformed into the best quality chocolate.

After that, visit the La Esmeralda Chocolate Factory, where the various chocolate aromas will enchant you. Learn about the steps needed to make a delicious chocolate bar – and even make your own!
