On the road to Matiguas

Last week, we went to get our cacao in the north of Nicaragua in Matiguas.

Matiguas is situated about 4 hours drive from Granada.

We went to visit la "Cooperativa Cacaotera la Campesina"

The cacao produced by the 500 farmers is mainly organic and certified by BioLatina.

It is known to have a great flavour and is a mix of Criollo type and Forastero type.

For our chocolate at ChocoMuseo we bought 100% Organic Cacao

Then we went to visit one of the cacao plantation near Rio Blanco (30 minutes from La Campesina) : It is Armando's farm with 5.6 Hectares of cacao plantation (about 6000 cacao trees)

Armando showed us his plantation and also the bio fertilizer he was using for its trees to grow.

Armando has one of the most productive cacao plantation and the seeds from his trees are used to improve genetically the plantation of the cooperativa.

In the museum, you will be able to read more about "la Cooperativa Cacaotera la Campesina" and also on Armando's farm
