Maya Mountains
Price range: $8.00 through $32.00
The ancient Maya considered their cacao beans a gift from the gods—an heirloom cacao still treasured today. Although the cacao beans travel all the way from the lush Maya Mountain forests of Belize to arrive here, these bonbons are the result of a local collaboration with Amy Vachon of Sotto Chocolate, a one-woman company making a variety of single origin chocolate bars.
I spent a day with Amy observing the many steps involved in transforming cacao beans into chocolate, and she spent time with me creating bonbons from her chocolate. Now you can enjoy the results! (Available in February.)
The bars and bonbons are available separately, but I highly recommend tasting both of these locally made chocolates. Flavors you may notice include honey, pineapple, raisin, dried cherry, and floral notes.
