A few weeks ago when I visited Raaka’s factory in Brooklyn, head chocolate maker Nate Hodge showed me this amazing book called Los Guardianes del Cacao (The Guardians of Cacao). It profiles lots of different Peruvian cacao farmers in a gorgeous, long-form way with lots of pretty pictures.
I was impressed that someone is focusing so heavily on the farmers, since they’re often ignored in this eclipsed supply chain.
Who are your favorite cacao farmers, and why?
