Mentecacao

In Tabasco, land of sun and water,
The cocoa trees awaken their song,
where the soil and the climate merge in love,
and give life to a treasure full of flavor.

From the heart of the earth the seed awakens,
with care and patience life rises,
Cocoa grows and strengthens in the sun,
until its branches promise splendor.

With wise hands the fruit is cut,
ripe corn cobs, an absolute gift,
its time is exact, its essence is enclosed,
and in each harvest, the cocoa is revealed.

The cocoa goes through its exact dance,
its crystals align to the precise beat,
temperature guides its transformation,
and reveals its perfect, brilliant shape.

The chocolate, tempered and lively, slides into the mold,
finds its shape, its precise contour,
the bubbles dissipate, the surface is smoothed,
and her perfect body is sealed.

The chocolate cools and takes its shape,
his body hardens, crisp and faithful,
its essence shines and remains.

The chocolate is carefully wrapped,
its brilliance is protected, its soul is guarded,
and travels intact to your hands and mouth.

The ear of corn opens, its interior is revealed,
the grains wake up wrapped in light,
The pulp embraces them, tender and light,
cocoa awakens, fruit of love.

On its wooden bed rests the cocoa,
the pulp melts, the grain breathes,
ferments its essence, its being is transformed,
and awaken the aromas that time will weave.

The grains are spread out under the open sky,
The sun dries them, the wind takes care of them,
The moisture goes away, the essence remains,
and the cocoa prepares for its new life.

The paste is delivered to deep pressure,
from it flows the golden butter,
and two paths are born from cocoa:
his liquid soul and his solid body.

From the ground grain the liquor is born,
pure dark mass, origin of cocoa,
base of chocolates, drinks and dreams,
intact essence of the earth.

The solid heart crumbles to dust,
It becomes a dark and light breeze,
carries with it the strength of cocoa,
and wake up desserts and drinks.

A careful selection of the dried cocoa beans is carried out to ensure that only the best quality (defect-free, clean) continue the transformation process.

After extracting its golden essence,
the heart remains dark and dense,
solid cocoa heritage,
ready to become dust and essence.

The butter emerges, clear and subtle,
hidden treasure of roasted grain,
gives shine, softness and caress,
to yellow gold, liquid and solid at the same time.

Milk softens, sugar sweetens,
They merge with the soul of cocoa,
and thus the faces of chocolate are born:
bitter, with milk or enchanted white.

Under the constant and serene beating,
the cocoa is smoothed, its soul is polished,
its molecules spin, its essence is ordered,
and the chocolate becomes silk and calm.

After breaking its shell, the grain is revealed,
toasted and clean begins its delivery,
it is ground, its being is melted,
and the cocoa is transformed into intense paste.

The grain is given over to patient heat,
your body transforms, your essence awakens,
the shell breaks, the inside is revealed,
and cocoa continues its ancestral path.
