Cacao in Costa Rica
Theobroma cacao
Cacao has been cultivated in Costa Rica for over 2,000 years, playing a fundamental role in indigenous cultures such as the Chorotega and Bribri, who used it in ceremonies and as currency. It was a divine gift, a status symbol, and a sacred beverage, an integral part of pre-Columbian culture.
In Costa Rica, fine cacao production is distinguished by its high quality, with varieties that offer adaptability, high yields, and fruity, nutty, or caramel-like organoleptic profiles, with intense and aromatic flavors, internationally appreciated.
