El Carmen
We’re very proud that this bar just won Gold at the International Chocolate Awards!
We discovered this fine flavor bean after meeting Giff Laube and Jose Enrique Herrera, the owners of Cacao Bisiesto, at their farm just outside the town of Matagalpa. The beans are named after the town in and around which they’re grown, which is located in Nicaragua’s Central Highlands.
The wet cacao beans (baba) are sent to Giff and Jose who then ferment and dry them at their centralized facility located on their farm, which allows them complete control over the entire flavor development process. For more information on their farm and fermentary, including pictures, check out our El Carmen page.
This is one of the first beans we found on our travels through Central America and it holds a special place in our hearts!
