Cuna de Piedra Comalcalco Tabasco avec fleurs d'hibiscus 73%

Origine du cacao : Mexique
Pays producteur : Mexique
Poids : 60g

Les minuscules pétales roses joliment parsemés au dos de ce bar proviennent d'une variété d'hibiscus apportée par les premiers galions espagnols et qui est encore cultivée dans les hautes montagnes de Guerrero par un collectif communautaire connu sous le nom de Numa Gamaa Ski Yu Me Phaa ("Merci Dieu Père-Mère, pour le pouvoir, la force et la connaissance de notre peuple, qui n'a ni corps ni liberté »). L'hibiscus joue un rôle culturel important au Mexique et est le plus souvent utilisé pour préparer l'agua fresca , un thé froid et sucré préparé par tremper les fleurs dans l'eau. Ici, en plus d'être jolies, les fleurs confèrent une texture croquante et une acidité sous-jacente qui joue joliment avec les notes amères et de café noir du chocolat.

Cuna de Piedra Comalcalco Tabasco avec fleurs d'hibiscus 73%

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.

Comalcalco, 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.
