Photos of my project with CHOCAL (Chocolate de la Cuenca de Altamira) working on marketing and production (quality control).
The machinery of the chocolate factory to make refined chocolate
Refined chocolate, they also make white chocolate!!!
More machinery, we have 5 more around the factory.
Toasted cacao beans.
My project partners, Pascual Silverio (my host grandfather) and Noemi Crisostomo at the grand opening of CHOCAL!
The Doñas (matriarchs) making bolas (chocolate/cacao balls to make hot cocoa)
Smaller bolas
A cacao tree
The ladies/Doñas making bolas and shelling the cacao beans. It's an arduous process and it HAS to be done by hand for the best quality cacao!!!!

Those are some beautiful pics Nichole! I am so happy for you that you've got your own HOUSE and a cute puppy!
It certainly seems as if things are shaping up nicely down there for you...
I am excited to see where this chocolate factory project can go...
Keep me updated and be well!
Lots of love,
