Our artisanal, handmade chocolates feature the rare and pure white bean cacao “Criollo,” grown by a smallholder ranch in Chiapas: a humid, tropical climate in the southernmost region of México. Casa Bosques partnered with a farm specialized in growing these heirloom cacao beans, where they are thoughtfully and exclusively produced for Casa Bosques, allowing us to be involved in every step of the process. Each new approach to the cacao bean informs our practice, invoking the constant discovery of new techniques, and harmonies of avors, aromas, and textures. By experimenting with herbs and spices, grains, seeds, medicinal plants, and traditional ingredients, we are continuously seeking new ways to showcase the terroir that is the union between the land and the people.

With a deep respect for the natural environment, our farmers draw upon ancient, traditional techniques used in Mesoamerican cacao gardens, where numerous native trees coexist harmoniously among diverse plant species, creating a lush canopied forest to enrich the soil. The varieties of Criollo cacao (white almond) growing in these conditions are regarded worldwide for their exceptional quality, flavor, and aroma.
