A few words about Elmer Martinez

When Elmer planting cacao, it was by chance, his uncle gave him eleven pods, he planted the seeds and got his first 170 cacao trees. At the same time, they planted citrus and fruit trees. His entourage, surprised by the color and the large size of his beans, qualified his cacao as poor quality at the time. Elmer and his family never gave up, they then started to plant the trinitario variety and they also opened your own chocolate factory. Today, to his surprise, people admire his cacao criollo for the aromas and for the white beans. 

« Today I can say that I live from my production and that cacao has changed my life."
