Recommended dose

20–40 g

Making a drink
  1. For a pure cacao drink, allow 20–30 g per cup, or 30–40 g for a denser texture. With a chocolate bar, adjust the amount to your taste: it already contains sugar.
  2. Grate or break up the cacao or chocolate.
  3. Heat the water, or a plant-based drink, without bringing it to the boil: 60 to 65 °C at most.
  4. Pour over the pieces, let them melt, then beat with a whisk or a molinillo until you get an even foam.

Territory

At the foot of the Tacaná volcano

At the foot of the Tacaná volcano, at 430 metres, on the Pacific slope of Chiapas, the soils of Soconusco are volcanic and alluvial. Cacao was already grown here before the word chocolate existed.

Genetics

The Criollo Blanco, what is left of it

Low-yielding and fragile, Mexican Criollo Blanco has often given way to hybrids. Finca Don Jorge keeps a living population of it.

Its pale beans give a round profile, with honey and roasted hazelnut.

The farm

A single farm, Finca Don Jorge

This lot comes from a single farm, Finca Don Jorge. Criollo Blanco yields less there than the neighbouring hybrids, and the farm keeps it all the same. The harvest runs from November to March.

After the harvest

In boxes, then on beds

When the pod is opened, the beans are white. That is the criollo blanco. They then ferment in wooden boxes and dry in the sun on raised beds. Nothing spectacular about the process: what is rare here is the tree, not the method.
