CHIHUAHUA & THE CHIPOTLE

COCOA HERNANDO CHIPOTLE CHILLIThe aromatic Chipotle chillies used in our Luxury Dark Chocolate Mexican Bar start out life as green jalapenos, which are left to grow until they turn dry & take on a lovely shade of dark red. The chillies are then transferred to wood-burning chambers for several days in order to absorb smoke & remove any remaining moisture. The farmers are then finally left with these wonderfully smoky mild chillies which are transported all across Mexico to be used in a whole range of traditional sauces, including Salsa & Adobo.

 

 

Copper CanyonMost Chipotle chillies are actually produced in Chihuahua, which sits on the country’s northern border with the US & is also the biggest state in Mexico. Chihuahau literally means ‘the place where the rivers meet’ – the rivers being the Chuviscar and the Sacramento, which flow from Colorado & California respectively. Chihuahua is a vast state which contains an incredible variety of environments, flora & fauna. The state is home to great forests & mountains, Copper Canyon – which is officially larger than the far more famous Grand Canyon (see right), the fascinating crystal caves of Naica Mountain & the wide Chihuahuan desert. Oh yes, Chihuahua is also apparently where those strange little dogs originate from too!

COCOA HERNANDO LAUNCH AT SOMERSET HOUSE

We’ve just about caught our breath after last week’s start-up showcase & don’t believe the launch of Cocoa Hernando could have gone much better. We had such a great time, met lots of brilliant people & sold a few luxury chocolate bars too! We’re also really proud of our display, so here’s a few pics. Finally, we’d love to don our hats again to Medeia Cohen, Doug Richard, The School for Creative Start-ups & KC Events – all of whom we couldn’t have come this far without. One thousand thankyous!
