Elizabeth Agudelo inherited the obsession for conservation of rare tropical fruit species from her father Miqueas. Since 2011 Elizabeth renewed part of Villa Gabi plantation with high quality Colombian clones from the Arauca region. Part of the plantation (3.5 hectars) is cultivated with experimental clones selected from the old hybrids in the finca and other Araucan clones like FTA2 and FTA4. These cacao trees are 4 years old and are now giving the first yield, meaning Villa Gabi’s story is just about to begin.
Domantas Uzpalis, Chocolate Naive chocolatier
*During Chocolate Naive’s seven years of chocolate production they have formed beautiful and far-reaching relationships with cacao growers and cooperatives from all around the globe. In their experience, the best cacaos come from very small farms and are prepared by applying tailored post-harvesting methods or are of isolated genetics.
Chocolate Naive always wanted to hunt down, buy and process the most exclusive and limited cacaos of the world and also to invite chocolate lovers to join this never-ending taste adventure. This is a socially responsible collaboration with an emphasis on cacao education.
