<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hay momentos en la carrera de un chef que cambian para siempre la forma en que ves un ingrediente.</p>
<p>Recientemente, tuve el privilegio de viajar a Ecuador con República del Cacao. Lo que comenzó como un viaje para aprender más sobre el chocolate, terminó convirtiéndose en una lección mucho más profunda sobre las personas, las comunidades y las historias que hay detrás de los ingredientes que utilizamos cada día.</p>
<p>Antes de este viaje, el chocolate de República del Cacao era un producto excepcional en el que confiaba plenamente en mi cocina. Después de recorrer las montañas de Cayambe, conocer a las mujeres de Puliza, caminar entre los árboles de cacao en la Amazonía y presenciar la transformación del grano hasta convertirse en chocolate, comprendí que cada bolsa de chocolate lleva consigo una historia mucho más grande que el propio ingrediente. A lo largo de este recorrido, hubo un mensaje que se hizo evidente: el gran chocolate comienza con grandes personas.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><strong>Día 1: Comprendiendo el corazón que hay detrás del chocolate</strong></p>
<p>Nuestro primer día comenzó cerca de la Línea Ecuatorial, en el Reloj Solar Quitsato, donde aprendimos cómo la ubicación geográfica única del Ecuador crea las condiciones ideales para la agricultura y la producción de cacao. Sin embargo, la experiencia más significativa fue nuestra visita a la comunidad indígena lechera de Puliza. Esta comunidad, liderada por mujeres, provee la leche utilizada en el Chocolate Blanco 31% de República del Cacao, el mismo chocolate que más tarde inspiraría mi postre.</p>
<p>Fuimos recibidos con una tradicional Pambamesa, una comida compartida preparada con ingredientes cultivados por la propia comunidad. Compartir papa criolla, melloco, maíz, queso fresco y tortillas de tiesto me recordó que algunas de las comidas más memorables se construyen a partir de la sencillez, la generosidad y la conexión. También tuvimos la oportunidad de probar los famosos bizcochos de Cayambe y aprender sobre el agave, una planta que prospera en condiciones desafiantes. Su resiliencia me pareció un reflejo de las comunidades que conocimos durante todo el viaje.</p>
<p>Más tarde ascendimos por las montañas para conocer de primera mano la actividad lechera. Visitamos el invernadero de la señora Lucrecia, aprendimos sobre los programas de desarrollo comunitario y observamos el trabajo diario necesario para mantener estas fincas.</p>
<p>Uno de los momentos más memorables fue intentar ordeñar una vaca junto a la presidenta de la comunidad. Mientras que mis esfuerzos apenas lograron llenar una pequeña taza de leche, ella estuvo a punto de llenar un balde completo. Lo que más me impactó no fue el proceso en sí, sino las personas que hay detrás de él. Estas mujeres se levantan antes del amanecer, trabajan incansablemente, sostienen a sus familias e invierten en el futuro de sus hijos. De pie en aquella montaña comprendí que la leche utilizada en el chocolate blanco de República del Cacao representa mucho más que un ingrediente: representa oportunidades, resiliencia y comunidad.</p>
<p>Antes de este viaje, el Chocolate Blanco Ecuador 31% era simplemente un producto que disfrutaba utilizar. Después de conocer a las mujeres que hacen posible su producción, se convirtió en una historia.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><strong>Día 2: Siguiendo el recorrido del cacao hacia la Amazonía</strong></p>
<p>El segundo día nos llevó desde los Andes hasta la Amazonía ecuatoriana, donde seguimos el recorrido del cacao hasta su origen. En el camino, hicimos una parada en un centro de acopio de cacao para observar los procesos de fermentación y secado. Ver miles de granos de cacao transformarse cuidadosamente antes de llegar a una fábrica me permitió valorar aún más la dedicación y el conocimiento necesarios para producir un gran chocolate. También aprendimos sobre las iniciativas de Comercio Justo (Fair Trade) y el impacto que generan en las comunidades locales. Los productores nos hablaron sobre la importancia de la educación, las oportunidades <br />y la preservación de las tradiciones agrícolas para las futuras generaciones. Uno de los momentos más memorables del viaje llegó cuando abordamos una canoa para navegar por el río hasta la comunidad de Mirador. El recorrido por la selva amazónica nos invitó a bajar el ritmo y apreciar el entorno que nos rodeaba.</p>
<p>La comunidad nos recibió con una comida preparada con ingredientes locales y compartió demostraciones de artesanías tradicionales elaboradas con fibras naturales y tintes de origen vegetal. Su respeto por la tierra y su compromiso con preservar los conocimientos transmitidos de generación en generación resultaron verdaderamente inspiradores.</p>
<p>Finalmente, llegamos a la plantación de cacao. Para una chef pastelera, ver el cacao creciendo en su entorno natural fue una experiencia casi surrealista. Aún más significativo fue descubrir que esta plantación produce el cacao utilizado en el Chocolate Negro Amazonía 75% de <br />República del Cacao, un chocolate que utilizamos regularmente en nuestro programa de pastelería.</p>
<p>Caminar entre los árboles de cacao, rodeados de banano, vainilla, canela, jengibre y una gran variedad de plantas, reveló la extraordinaria biodiversidad de la Amazonía. Probar el cacao fresco directamente de la mazorca fue otra experiencia inolvidable. La pulpa dulce que rodea al grano tenía notas frescas, tropicales y un sabor completamente diferente al que la mayoría de las <br />personas asocia con el chocolate. <br />Al finalizar el día, comprendí que cada pieza de chocolate comienza su historia mucho antes de llegar a una fábrica. Comienza con los agricultores, los ecosistemas y generaciones de conocimiento compartido.</p></div>

<p>Nuestro tercer día nos llevó a la fábrica de República del Cacao en Quito, donde seguimos el recorrido del cacao desde el grano hasta convertirse en chocolate terminado. Desde el momento en que llegamos, quedó claro que la mayor fortaleza de la empresa son las personas. El orgullo, la pasión y el compromiso que demostraba cada colaborador reflejaban los mismos valores que habíamos visto en las comunidades productoras de leche y cacao.</p>
<p>Recorrimos todo el proceso de producción: desde la recepción y el tostado de los granos de cacao hasta el refinado, conchado, temperado y empaque del chocolate. Aunque la tecnología era impresionante, lo que más destacó fue la experiencia y el conocimiento que había detrás de cada etapa. La calidad no se logra únicamente gracias a las máquinas; se alcanza gracias a las personas que sienten un profundo compromiso con su trabajo.</p>
<p>Un aspecto que me impresionó especialmente fue el compromiso de la empresa por minimizar los desperdicios y aprovechar al máximo el valor de cada grano de cacao.</p>
<p>Después del recorrido por la fábrica, disfrutamos de una degustación de pastelería preparada por la Chef Corporativa de Pastelería, Andrea, y tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer más sobre la misión de República del Cacao de la mano de la CEO, Paulina, y del equipo directivo.<br />Para ese momento del viaje, ya había un tema en común que se repetía constantemente. Ya fuera conversando con productores de leche, agricultores de cacao o colaboradores de la fábrica, todos compartían el mismo sentido de orgullo y responsabilidad.<br />República del Cacao no solo produce chocolate; preserva tradiciones, apoya a las comunidades y crea oportunidades. Para mí, ese es el verdadero secreto detrás de la marca.<br />El día concluyó con una hermosa cena en Casa de Tilo, donde los chefs Max y Cécile nos recibieron en su hogar. Rodeados de jardines, excelente comida, música y una agradable conversación, fue un recordatorio más de que la hospitalidad y la conexión humana están en el <br />corazón de la cultura ecuatoriana.</p></div>

<p>Nuestro último día en Quito nos brindó el tiempo para reflexionar sobre todo lo que habíamos vivido. Mientras caminaba por la ciudad, los recuerdos de los días anteriores volvían una y otra vez a mi mente: las mujeres de Puliza llevando la leche montaña abajo, el recorrido en canoa por la Amazonía, los árboles de cacao creciendo bajo el dosel de la selva y los colaboradores de la fábrica compartiendo con orgullo el trabajo que realizan.<br />Para ese momento, ya sabía exactamente lo que quería que representara mi postre. En el centro de la creación estaba el <a href="https://republicadelcacao.com/en/product/chocolate-blanco-ecuador-31/">Chocolate Blanco Ecuador 31%</a>  de República del Cacao. Después de visitar Puliza, su sabor adquirió un significado completamente nuevo. Cada bocado me <br />recordaba las montañas, la comunidad y a las mujeres cuya dedicación hace posible este chocolate.<br />La Amazonía también desempeñó un papel fundamental en el desarrollo del postre. Sus vibrantes notas cítricas, sus aromas frescos y la extraordinaria biodiversidad de la región inspiraron sabores que aportaron frescura y energía a la creación final. Los propios paisajes influyeron en la presentación y en la esencia emocional del postre.<br />Trabajar junto a la Chef Corporativa<a href="https://www.instagram.com/andreclq/"> Andrea</a>, fue uno de los mayores privilegios de este viaje. Juntas transformamos recuerdos en sabores y experiencias en una historia contada a través de un postre. Cada componente se convirtió en un reflejo de un lugar, una persona o un momento vivido durante este recorrido.<br />Mientras abordaba mi vuelo de regreso a Atlanta, llevaba conmigo mucho más que la inspiración para una nueva receta. Me llevaba los recuerdos de las mujeres de Puliza, la belleza de las montañas de Cayambe, los sonidos de la selva amazónica y las historias de las personas que dedican su vida a producir y transformar este extraordinario ingrediente. Este viaje profundizó mi <br />respeto no solo por el cacao, sino también por cada persona cuyas manos forman parte de este proceso: desde los agricultores y productores hasta los artesanos, las comunidades y los colaboradores de la fábrica.<br />Como chefs, muchas veces nos enfocamos en lo que creamos. Esta experiencia me recordó la importancia de honrar también el origen de nuestros ingredientes y a las personas que hacen posible que lleguen hasta nosotros.<br />Antes de Ecuador, el chocolate era un ingrediente con el que disfrutaba trabajar. Después de Ecuador, se convirtió en una historia. Y detrás de cada gran historia hay personas extraordinarias. Por eso, siempre estaré profundamente agradecida</p>

Contrary to what many imagine, these are not monocultures, cacao trees grow side by side with companions like Amazonian garlic, tropical fruits, and other plants that naturally protect and nurture them. Here we do something that is a first for many, taste fresh cacao straight from the pod. I always enjoy looking at our guests faces as they taste the floral, and acid notes of the fruit for the first time.</p>
<p>For lunch, a true farm-to-table feast is prepared by the community, which includes local ingredients like tilapia, yuca, wayusa tea, and of course, a bit of bean-to-bar chocolate prepared that moment. It is here that our guests begin to understand the true journey behind the chocolate they use daily—cultivation, fermentation, drying, and the challenging trek up the Andes Mountains to get to the factory.</p></div>

<p>The next day we make our way to Pacto, nestled in the Chocó Andino bioregion, where panela farmers keep a beautiful tradition alive. Panela—unrefined sugar cane—is an essential ingredient in many of our chocolates.</p>
<p>Here, knowledge isn’t written in manuals; it’s carried in stories, memories, and hands worn by work and pride. We get to see how entire families pass down the craft of cultivating sugar cane, collecting the juice, and transforming it into golden panela.</p>
<p>Our guests also joined in! Cutting cane, squeezing the sweet juice, and watching it slowly turn into the panela. Watching this entire process is a lesson in sustainability, but also in passion.</p></div>

The head of R&amp;D and Quality led a professional tasting, and we could already see inspiration sparking as clients begin imagining their next desserts and pastries. They also get to meet our Corporate Chef Andrea Lopez, and visit her chocolate laboratory where many recipes used world-wide are crafted.</p>

<p>República del Cacao crafts the most authentic Latin American chocolate by using exclusively Latin American ingredients and building deep, lasting relationships with local communities. I have seen firsthand how the growth of the company directly supports the growth of the allied farmers and their families.</p>
<p>For me, sharing this world is more than work—it is pride, it is home. And every time I guide visitors through these landscapes, I’m reminded that chocolate is more than a product.</p>
<p>It is a story. A connection. A legacy.</p></div>

This prestigious event brought together some of the most influential chefs from the U.S. and around the world, creating an unforgettable experience for food lovers and industry professionals alike. As a headlining chef, I had the privilege of showcasing my passion for chocolate, pastries, and desserts across three incredible events.</p>
<p>The energy, the people, and the sheer love for fine cuisine made this experience one to remember. One of the highlights of my participation was crafting 2500 individual desserts, 7 different kinds, for a beachfront night event called Barefoot BBQ, attended by 700 guests, working alongside with Chef Mitzi Reyes and two other local pastry assistants. The challenge of creating desserts that would impress such a large and discerning crowd was exhilarating, and seeing the joy on their faces made every moment worth it.</p></div>

<p>Perhaps the most interactive and engaging part of my participation was leading a VIP chocolate tasting experience for 40 guests. This wasn’t just any tasting since I was able to combined fine aroma cacao chocolate with the fascinating sensory transformation of miracle berries, creating an exciting and unexpected journey for everyone involved.</p>
<p>Beyond the culinary magic, Grand Cayman itself was breathtaking. The Ritz-Carlton provided a flawless setting, with its luxurious ambiance, world-class hospitality, and incredible staff ensuring that every detail was executed to perfection.</p></div>

<p>Amidst the crisp winds of Quito and a visit from a few llamas, our travelers prepared to begin their chocolate journey at the República del Cacao factory in Quito.</p>
<p>The rich aroma of roasting cacao beans and the local team greeted us, eager to share the secrets of their craft. After a warm welcome from Paulina Paez, the company’s CEO, the plant manager walked us through the entire production line, demonstrating how we use local ingredients to craft chocolate at the source. It is in this space, where fine aroma cacaos from Ecuador, Peru, Mexico and the Dominican Republic come together with other Ecuadorian ingredients, like milk, sugar, panela, and corn, to make our signature chocolate. From start to finish, we witnessed the roasting and winnowing of dry cacaos, along with the conching, tempering, and molding processes. That day we observed how the Ecuador 65% Dark Chocolate drops were manufactured.</p>
<p>Afterwards, Chef Andrea guided us through her Cacao Lab, where she gives master classes, develops new recipes, and validates chocolate applications. We ended our tour with a chocolate tasting led by Carla Estévez, R&amp;D and Quality Manager, learning not only about the notes of each chocolate but also the <strong>organoleptic profile of Latin American fine cacao.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The benefits of producing chocolate in a cacao producing country were on full display throughout the tour. From the local team of experts to obtaining local ingredients, all while minimizing our carbon footprint throughout the process.</strong></p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Day 2: La Amazonía – The Amazon</p>
<p>After a long drive, we arrived in the lush and green region of the Amazon. You could feel the heat and humidity in the air and also the excitement to learn about the star ingredient in the República del Cacao chocolate, fine aroma cacao. We adventured by boat deep into the Tena province until we reached Maria’s farm. She welcomed along her son in Kichua, their native language. She and her family have been planting cacaos for generations, handing down their knowledge and techniques from one generation to the next. After a short walk, we spotted the first cacao tree. As we walked towards it, Maria explained the life cycle of the cacao pod from flower to the mature fruit.</p>
<p>With a basket wrapped around her forehead and a machete in hand, she cut a cacao and smoothly opened it for us to smell, see, and taste. For many, this was the first time seeing a cacao fruit. The sweet flavor of the white pulp and the bitterness of the raw beans were a revelation. Maria and her son, continued showing us the best practices they follow for a good harvest. At República del Cacao, we work hand-in-hand with our entire community of farmers, hosting ongoing workshops that teach pruning, fermentation, and drying techniques to help them improve their cacao production.</p>
<p>After learning about the endemic plants in the region that play a role in the cacao ecosystem, we had a true farm to table lunch and Maria had yet another surprise for us. Her daughter had already roasted some cacao nibs, that we grinded using a traditional stone mill, added some sugar and made some bean to bar chocolate. As we savored the richness of the chocolate, along with Maria&#8217;s stories, we gained a deeper appreciation for the origins and the people behind this noble product we love.</p>
<p>Day 3: La Sierra – The Highlands</p>
<p>We headed to the Andes for our third day. We drove through the stunning mountain landscapes of the Cayambe region until we arrived to Turucucho perched at 3,300 meters above sea level were doña Maria and doña Carmen’s welcomed us warmly. They proudly introduced themselves as the leaders of the Governing Committee of the milking association in that region.</p>
<p>We spent the day learning about dairy farming techniques, from the best types of grass for feeding cows to the traditional processes of milking and transporting. The unique characteristics of natural sweetness and a special flavor of fresh cream, makes Turucucho’s milk, a unique ingredient for the Ecuador 31% White Chocolate. This partnership allows us to use high-quality milk from small-scale dairy farmers. Maria and Carmen then had a wonderful lunch prepared for us with local ingredients such as corn, faba beans, cheese empanadas, and of course chocolate milk as dessert! We ended our day driving back to Quito, with anticipation for what the last day held for us.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>República del Cacao was part of an exciting movement lead by the Fine Cacao and Chocolate Institute, a scholar-led research organization that seeks to reduce information asymmetry in the cacao and chocolate value chain. <strong>Cacao the Gift of the Gods</strong>, an event held at the Museum of Food and Drink in New York, was a night of knowledge exchange, networking, and homage to the history of cacao. Chocolate researchers Jose Lopez Ganem (Boston University), Dr. Carla D. Martin (Harvard University), and Dr. Kathryn Sampeck (University of Reading) held intimate, expert-led tours of archeological Mesoamerican pieces related to cacao before they return to their countries of origin in Central America. At República del Cacao, we not only honor cacao, but also the cultures and communities that have grown it for centuries.</p>
<p>We promote the exchange of knowledge through events, workshops, trainings, courses, and projects with universities and institutes, with the aim of supporting the training of professionals and the continuation of the art of chocolate.</p>

<p>Este año, República del Cacao y Rogue Creamery llevaron Chef to Farm a los Estados Unidos, celebrando la cocina local y sostenible. Nuestro Chef Corporativo, Andrea López, lideró una exclusiva experiencia de degustación de chocolate. El Chef Gonzo Jiménez, Chef Pastelero en EE.UU., exploró los sabores del cacao en una sesión dedicada. El Chef Luis Robledo Richards, Mejor Chef Pastelero de América Latina, compartió su viaje «My Field to Bar». Los invitados disfrutaron de un recorrido exclusivo por la fuente de quesos galardonados. Los chefs Eric Bartle y Sara Kunelius prepararon una cena única de la granja a la mesa con los mejores sabores regionales.</p>
<p>Un sincero agradecimiento a todos los que nos acompañaron, compartieron su pasión y nos ayudaron a fortalecer esta conexión. ¡Juntos, cambiamos el mundo, un grano de cacao a la vez!</p>

<p>Page Spring Cellars is renowned not only for its exquisite wines but also for its commitment to sustainability. Here, we visited Eric Glomski, Owner and Director of Winegrowing, with whom we discussed the importance of making a positive impact in the land, the community we live in, and businesses taking responsibility for their practices.</p></div>

He took us on a tour of the vineyard, explaining how organic farming methods, water conservation, and soil health are integral to their operations. There are many similarities in the creation of wine and chocolate, and it all starts with the terroir. The terroir is a term used to describe the environmental factors that affect a crop&#8217;s phenotype, including unique environment contexts, farming practices and a crop&#8217;s specific growth habitat. The terroir gives fruits their distinctive flavor notes. For Page Springs Cellars, their wines are characterized from the region of Arizona. In the case of chocolate, cacao grown in Mexico give the distinguished spice and toffee notes to chocolate.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>A highlight of our visit was the wine and chocolate pairing session, where Eric matched their red wines with our Dark Chocolate Mexico 66%. Eric explained, «Sustainability is about creating products that are not only good for the environment but also exceptional in quality. This pairing is a testament to that philosophy.» At República del Cacao, sustainability is also integral to our business model. As a B Corp, we believe in making a positive impact on society. All of our actions are guided by four pillars: responsible sourcing, conscious gastronomy, community of value, and environmental commitment. It&#8217;s inspiring to see how sustainable practices can enhance the flavors and quality of both wine and chocolate.</p>
<p>Our day at Page Springs Cellars was a remarkable journey into the world of sustainability, demonstrating how conscientious practices can lead to exceptional products. You can learn more about our sustainable practices <span><a href="https://republicadelcacao.com/en/sustainable-chocolate/">here</a></span>. As we move on to our next stop at L&#8217;Auberge de Sedona, we carry with us a deeper appreciation for the sustainable ethos. Stay tuned as we explore the world of hospitality and elegance.</p></div>

Chef Donna Yuen greeted us warmly and introduced us to the customer experience concept behind L&#8217;auberge de Sedona; experiences that not only delight the palate but also ignite all the senses through scenery and sounds.</p>
<p>Situated on the banks of Oak Creek, L’Auberge seeks to create special moments for their guests. Similarly, at República del Cacao, we aim to create unforgettable experiences through our chocolates, creations, and events. We invite our clients to discover the authentic flavors and impactful stories of our Latin American terroirs, elevating their chocolate journey.</p></div>

<p>In this plated dessert, the polenta, orange zest, and the flavor profile of our Dark Chocolate Mexico 66% balanced elegantly with the White Chocolate Ecuador 31% ganache. This dessert, besides delightful to the palate, is an experience in itself.</p></div>
