Description

Discover the secrets of cocoa through an immersive workshop in Goyave with Mikael from Natibwa: cultivation, roasting, processing, and traditional chocolate tasting. (French/English)
In the heart of the tropical nature of Goyave, experience an authentic immersion in the very history of cocoa alongside Mikael, founder of Natibwa and a passionate cultural mediator. This experience invites you to discover all the stages of cocoa processing, from the fresh pod to traditional chocolate.

The tour takes place in a Creole garden where fruit trees and plants emblematic of the Caribbean grow. You will discover the secrets of cocoa, the drying and roasting techniques, and then take part in a hands-on demonstration of each step, culminating in the making of a traditional cocoa bar.
