Le Criollo est rare au Mexique, mais Don Eder en produit des récoltes exceptionnelles dans son domaine de Soconusco. En fait, il est si fier de son Criollo qu'il a insisté pour que son nom apparaisse sur la barre, sinon il ne la vendrait pas. Et je comprends : c'est une barre unique et spéciale, avec une qualité plus légère, presque caramélisée. Son profil noisette, quelque peu laiteux, présente également des notes de dégustation de dattes séchées, de copeaux de cannelle, de noix de pécan et un soupçon de clou de girofle. C'est un plaisir à manger !

Métiche Soconusco Don Eder 67%
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.
Achetez plus MeticheSoconusco, located at the very bottom of Mexico in Chiapas' southwest corner along the Guatemala border, has a history dating back to at least 5500 BC. It was home to Mesoamerica's oldest known culture as well as the earliest signs of cocoa cultivation, dating back 4,000 years ago. The region influenced the rise of the Olmec and Aztec civilization, in addition to the many that preceded them. Its modern political status was unsettled in the 19th century, and its isolation has preserved a persisting distinct cultural identity separate from the rest of Chiapas, let alone Mexico. Geographically, Soconusco is a narrow strip between the Sierra Madre de Chiapas and the Pacific Ocean, with diverse climates and ecologies that vary by elevation. Its long coast has 200 km of uninterrupted beaches and mangroves, while lowlands contain dry forests with scrub and woodlands, and at higher elevations, where the mountains intercept winds from the Pacific, it is cool and humid with a tropical evergreen montane forests. The region has fertile volcanic soil and lots of humidity, making it ideal for agriculture. Cacao and rubber were the primary crops for millennia, but coffee became the first modern export in the 1890s, introduced by German immigrants. Since then, a multitude of crops like tropical fruits and flowers have been cultivated.
