Short story: We proudly present our second 'single côt&e' chocolate, created from cocoa grown and harvested only on a single section of Rabot Estate, our 250-year-old cocoa plantation in Saint Lucia. The 15-acre Pépinière côte is the largest of our 16 côtes, bordered by riverbeds on the slope of a volcanic basin beneath the spectacular Piton Mountains and blessed with fabulously rich and fertile soil.
Short story: Not just single origin (from one country), or even single estate, we've gone deeper into the world of cocoa and produced single côte. From our own plantation in Soufriere, Saint Lucia, the cocoa has been kept separate as it is picked and fermented from each côte (terroir section) within the estate. This particular côte, Marcial, is a beautiful part of the estate near the Rabor lake, with a mix of grizzled 80-100 year-old trees and fresh new trees planted as seedlings, all bearing the rare Trinitario bean unique to the Rabot Estate.
