Welcoming our new cacao tree

Less than a month from the opening day, we received today our cacao tree for the museum.


It was brought by Yvette working for a "vivero" in Catarina (15 miles from Granada).

The cacao tree was planted in the first patio of the Hotel Spa Granada near the chocolate museum.


It is under our mango tree so that it is under the shade all day long. We need to water it three times a day.


We also installed some coffee plants for the coffee place area.

Working with Jose Ortiz


Soon available : Art from Jose Ortiz at the museum shop.

Today, we had a workshop with Jose Ortiz to prepare the new design for the shop of the museum.

Jose Ortiz is a Nicaraguayan artist from San Juan del Oriente who decided to produce ceramic and paintings differently. His work can be considered as modern art but he still takes his inspiration from the nicaraguayan and indigeneous culture.


You can see its work on these websites : Pura Vida Interior and Azul Gallery

And soon at Choco el Museo

The chocolate factory

For about one month, we are processing our own chocolate.

The cacao comes from different part of Nicaragua : Mombacho volcano, Matiguas (North of the country) and Rio San Juan (South of the country).

After roasting the fermented seeds and removing the husk, we grind the cacao nibs at "el molino".
Then we mix the cacao paste in the "Melangeur" with only sugar for about 12 to 28 hours.
The chocolate is delicious and we can really taste the cacao.
This chocolate will be for sale at the Museum shop.
