ABOUT

Driven by an intense curiosity for chocolate-making born out of the 2020 pandemic, Fabiola saved a couple of pesos to buy a small chocolate melanger made from stones from the nearest volcano (el volcán de colima). Someone in her city helped her get cacao beans from Chiapas, Mexico and within a couple of hours she began making chocolate from mixing the beans and sugar in her melanger.

She became obsessed with this process and went down the internet rabbit hole where she stumbled upon Manoa and Dylan Butterbaugh's CraftChocolateTV. After watching every single one of their videos, she wondered if she could ever work as an intern with them. She decided to take a shot and email them. Two months later she was on a plane to Hawaii to learn everything about chocolate making from the best of the best.

After her experience in Hawaii, Fabiola returned home and began travelling to the south of her country in search of the best cacao beans. She continues to experiment, creating unique chocolate bar flavors that represent a combination of her personality and her native country of Mexico.

Steps Between Farm and You

Chocolate Metiche purchases cacao and cacao butter directly from four farming communities across Tabasco and Chiapas. Sugar, inclusions, and printed packaging are all sourced locally. Chocolate is created in small batches from bean-to-bar in Guadalajara and shipped to Yahara Chocolate in Wisconsin for fulfillment to retailers or directly to you!

Why We Love Chocolate Metiche, Mexico

DIRECT TRADE

Metiche works directly with farmers, visiting both the farmers and their farms before making purchases. They source from four areas of Mexico: Comalcalco in Tabasco (Finca las delias) and three areas in Chiapas: Tuzantán, El Hular, and Rancho San Rafael.

MEXICAN CIRCULAR BUSINESS

Chocolate Metiche carefully sources cacao beans, sugar, cocoa butter, inclusions, and even printed packaging from within Mexico. They desire to return money to the Mexican economy.
