Chocolate-Making in the Caribbean
Jade Mountain Resort — with more than 1000 cocoa trees on the resort estates — is Saint Lucia’s only bean to bar, organic, single estate boutique chocolate maker.
For the past three years, Soufriere’s Jade Mountain has hand-crafted Emerald Estate Chocolate. With the opening of its chocolate laboratory, guests are now able to not only taste but participate in the making of the chocolate.
Those staying at Jade Mountain and at its adjoining “sister” property Anse Chastanet can now choose from a variety of chocolate infused activities like chocolate sensory tastings, educational estate trips and truffle making classes. Chocolate lovers will be further enticed by chocolate inspired dishes, cocktails and body treatments in the resort restaurants, bars and spa.
If you’re really a chocoholic,schedule your visit during their annual Discover Chocolate Festival from October 10 through 14, 2014.
