Travelling is one one of my favorite things to do, after pastry. This time I was Bali, Indonesia, which I hadn’t visited for years. There I have been visiting several Cocoa plantations, and have found out that Bali, has excellent cocoa been quality and is now suffering the “big market pressure”. It’s a small Island that has only small cocoa producers, which manage to have an eco-friendly and good quality product, but also have difficulties, as they don’t have the technology and infrastructure of the big cocoa companies. While driving around with my scooter, mostly in the north of the Island, you could see Cocoa trees with beautiful beens, basically everywhere you looked, just beside the road. |
