The Story of Soconusco
In 1502, when Christopher Columbus became the first European to see cacao off the coast of Honduras and the island of Guanaga, the Soconusco region of Mexico near the Guatemalan border had a reputation for producing some of the finest cacao in the Aztec Empire. Today, the modern town of Soconusco is a sleepy little hamlet that is no longer a center of cacao production. In nearby towns, however, families farm cacao using tools and techniques that would have been recognizable to their ancestors, forging a link between the legendary Soconusco cacao of Aztec times and the chocolate we are making today.
"In his effort to restore the once glorified Soconusco bean, Askinosie is the first in the world outside of mexico in over 100 years to make chocolate from this historic region."
