Cuna de Piedra a rejoint Slow Food Mexique pour soutenir la préservation des mines de sel préhispaniques dans le Ville d'Oaxaca de Zapotitlán Salinas. La valeur historique, culturelle et gastronomique de ce sel a été reconnue par Slow Food International en 2018 avec la désignation Sentinelles. Il reste aujourd’hui moins de 100 agriculteurs récolter le sel selon une technique inchangée depuis des générations : les escaliers et les parois rocheuses des puits remontent à tellement de centaines d'années que personne ne sait avec certitude quand ils ont été réellement construits ! L'utilisation de ce sel spécial peut être agréablement appréciée sans trop détourner l'attention du caractère sombre et fruité du cacao et de ses notes de prune noire, de menthe meurtrie et de café.

Cuna de Piedra, which translates to 'Cradle of Stone' (reflecting Mexico's status as the birthplace of cocoa and stone's foundational role in Pre-Hispanic cooking), is passionate about continuing Mexico's millennium-long legacy of chocolate while enhancing the quality of life for everyone involved in the cacao process, from growers to consumers. Unlike traditional cacao production chains with numerous intermediaries, Enrique and Vicky work directly with those connected to the land. They collaborate only with individuals who grow, harvest, and ferment cacao on-site, ensuring they receive the highest and fullest compensation for their labor. Additionally, they are supporters of Slow Food Mexico, a part of the broader Slow Food Movement. As a contributor to the movement's Ark of Taste, which aims to preserve and promote culturally and biologically diverse foods, Cuna de Piedra has crafted a unique bar using ancient spring salt, showcasing traditional local flavours of culinary and cultural significance. Even their packaging was inspired by local Pre-Hispanic sculptures, reminiscent of those found at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.
Achetez plus Cuna De PiedraComalcalco, situated in the Mexican state of Tabasco along the Gulf of Mexico, derives its name from its rich agricultural heritage, translating to "in the house of the comals," with comals being pans used for food preparation. The region's fertile soil continues to support a thriving agricultural industry, with cocoa being the primary crop and accounting for 20% of Tabasco’s annual harvest. It also grows large quantities of tropical fruits, corn, beans, and vegetables cultivated, as well as some premium livestock ranching. Notably, Comalcalco is home to a significant archaeological site and the westernmost city of the Maya civilization and the one constructed with bricks rather than limestone. Now situated on an extensive alluvial plain, this area was once enveloped by low evergreen rainforest and mangrove swamps.
