Based in Guadalajara, Metiche is dedicated to sharing Mexico's pre-Hispanic heritage through chocolate, as both a sensory and visual experience. Their packaging features traditional calligraphy and an emblem depicting a woman with a cocoa plant, symbolizing chocolate's origins in the area. Fabiola, the founder, meticulously sources all her ingredients - including cacao beans, sugar, cocoa butter, inclusions, and even printed packaging - from within Mexico, aiming to keep that money circulating in the local economy. Metiche works directly with farmers in Tabasco and Chiapas, visiting both the farmers and their farms regularly. The name "Metiche," meaning "nosy" in Spanish, reflects the Mexican culture's curiosity and desire for connection. Metiche believes that sharing chocolate is a way to foster meaningful connections and conversations, inviting others to join in the joy of discovery and indulgence.
