With flavor as their North Star, they instantly knew that they needed to re-examine every aspect of the process to unlock and highlight the pure flavors of the cacao fruit with respect to the raw product. “To work with flavors, we realized that we had to start the journey as cacao growers. We planted for variety which permits optimizing flavor development in fermentation and roasting. We select, graft, and grow the cacao on our own plantations and with partner farmers, with a strong focus on traceability”. Shifting the sourcing practices and processes to develop their desired flavor profile takes time, 14 years to be precise, until they released their first chocolate made of the single variety cacao called Mayan Red.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eXoco Gourmet owns and operates their own farms in Central America (Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica), working hand-in-hand with over 200 partner farmers and remunerating their work fairly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout Mayan Red: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMayan Red is the name given to Xoco Gourmet’s first signature cacao variety.
