Started by Eder Herrera and his community including 28 members, this cooperative grows and ferments it's [sic] own cacao. With the logistical and financial help from Revival Cacao, this community is devoted to the preservation of heirloom Mexican cacao varieties. Cacao has been growing here for 4000 years so within this bar you are tasting ancient history and the result of intense ecological restoration and crop biodiversity.
