Sharing our passion to Cacao & chocolate - now in Hua Hin
We brought here freshly picked cacao pods & beans, made a course for the kids, learned the local climate's features to grow then first plants of cocoa, which immediately changed the weather. Surely, using local ingredients we cooked few kinds of chocolate, including unforgettable choco-cheese and gave it to taste to people around.
The very first seedlings of cacao we gave away
Old temple with pool, Da Vinci school, Shiva Ayurveda Clinic, private botanical garden, Chocolate Factory...
Next is now - 36 Cacao plants found their new Home in Prachuap Khiri Khan
More than 150 years ago 36 tea plants were brought from China to Taiwan & planted on Dong Ding - "mountain of frozen peak" - it was the beginning of glorious story of Taiwanese Oolong*. Sipping even better Oolong from Chiang Rai and looking at 36 young sprouts of cacao, which grown so fast in Hua Hin we see the way to begin a new exciting chocolate story - land & soil here are unique - best in world pineapples & litchis, as well as santols and durians growing here happily. To set-up the first mini cocoa-farm, which will make the future sweet and add to it more pleasures!
*similar to this Oolong - "Dong Ding" - now also produced in the north of Thailand, which has very good quality and great taste.
What's more - few kilo of fresh cacao beans
Its not enough to "start a business" yet, but supporting us we can stop cutting the cacao trees. because when farmers don't see the profit - they cut the trees, to plant then something more actual - trees which is more easy in caring, harvesting, in keeping and selling their products.
"Big Secret" revealed - its easy to make chocolate at home
Each of us who loves it is a chocolatier inside. The very first home-made chocolate from beans - with all "first time issues" - was already much-far better than all or anything before. While all we used was home blender and gas cooker.
Thus pictures are the recipe-half-guide, and this half is in minor.
