At Hacienda San Cayetano, you can sign up for weekend tours of the area’s cocoa plantations and learn how the beans are processed to achieve quality chocolate. They make two types of chocolate bars: Valle Canoabo 60% and Valle Canoabo 70%. The thick chocolate has a fruity taste with hints of nuts and sugar cane. The valley is full of trees that provide shade to the cacao: bucare, samanes and mijaos. The flavors draw from fruit trees such as oranges, tangerines and bananas.
