Chocolate Laboratory
In the heart of Cacao Oro, a significant leap forward has been made in the world of cocoa and chocolate—a realm where tradition meets innovation. The inauguration of the first chocolate laboratory, a joint venture between Cacao Oro and Semilla Escuela, marks a pivotal moment in our quest to transform the cocoa industry from the ground up. This partnership not only underscores our commitment to quality and sustainability but also heralds a new era of cocoa excellence in our region.
At Cacao Oro, we understand that the essence of exceptional chocolate begins with the bean. Through rigorous sampling and continuous monitoring of our cacao’s organoleptic and sensory attributes, our post-harvest team ensures that every batch meets the highest standards of quality.
Our collaboration with Semilla Escuela, Nicaragua’s leading cocoa and chocolate education and research platform, further amplifies our efforts. Together, we aim to empower communities by spreading knowledge and skills crucial for the cocoa transformation process, thereby fostering a sustainable cocoa ecosystem that benefits everyone involved.
The new chocolate laboratory in Rosita is more than just a laboratory; it’s a beacon of hope and progress for the local cocoa sector and the communities it supports. It represents our shared dedication to improving not just the quality of cocoa but also the quality of life for those who cultivate and craft it.
The establishment of Cacao Oro’s chocolate laboratory and its regenerative impact on more than 12 Miskito women truly shows what can be achieved when passion for cocoa is combined with a commitment to sustainability and community development.
As we move forward, the laboratory will serve as a hub of innovation, education, and excellence, helping to shape many lives in our region.
