Introduction & Cacao History

From sacred bean to Colombian pride

We’ll start with a short and fun talk about the history of cacao, from its ancient use in indigenous rituals to its role in Colombia today. You'll learn how cacao grows, why Colombian cacao is special, and how it connects with our culture and land.

Roasting the Beans

Roast like our abuelas used to do

Next, we’ll roast raw cacao beans using a traditional pan over fire. You’ll see how the beans change color, release their rich aromas, and begin their transformation into chocolate. This part smells amazing and sets the mood for hands-on fun.

Hands-on cacao like a local

After roasting, you’ll peel the cacao beans manually, it’s a mindful, calming process. Then, using a stone or hand grinder, you’ll grind them into a rich paste. It’s how it’s been done for generations and connects you directly to the process.
