🌱🍫Sweet Memories with Cacao in CamSur🍫🌱

I joined the journey that started in Luzon, passed by Visayas and ended in Mindanao through the .

The took us on a delightful journey back to my childhood, as we visited a beautiful cacao farm in , . 🌿 The lush greenery and the rich aroma of cacao beans brought back cherished memories of times spent with my beloved grandmother.

As a child, my grandmother would gather all the grandchildren around her. She'd crack open the cacao pods and we'd eagerly dig into the sweet, white pulp of the cacao beans. After savoring the delicious treat, we'd dutifully return the beans to her. She would then dry, roast, and pound them with care and love to create the perfect tablea. Those were magical times, filled with laughter, learning, and the rich, comforting smell of chocolate. 🍫❤️

Our visit today reminded me of a beautiful saying: "Chocolate is happiness that you can eat." 🌟

I felt a deep connection to my roots and an immense gratitude for the traditions that keep our heritage alive. Thank you to everyone who made this visit possible and to all those who work tirelessly to bring the joy of chocolate into our lives.
