19 to September 22, 2024
Four days of workshops, talks and a business roundtable convened by the Government of Meta and the Guamal town council, with the region's cacao as the only subject. It is the largest stage the brand has stood on.
Already happened
From the people who came across the table at a fair or at the market.
I went to the congress for the technical talks, and what I remember most is the tasting at their table. I had never thought of the pulp as something you could use: on my farm we threw it away. I left with the idea and a couple of contacts. I hope they hold the congress again next year and bring more producers from the region to share how they work.
Translated from Spanish
The talks on fermentation were very thorough, and the Heragon tasting was the perfect close to the second day.

Limited places
A morning on the farm following cacao from start to finish: cutting pods, extracting the pulp, seeing how the beans ferment and ending with a tasting of the wine and chocolate they become.

Importante
A showcase of the region’s baking and sweets. We took the chocolate bar and the table chocolate; the wine did not quite fit, but people talked about it all afternoon.

The first time we set the table up outside Guamal. The husk tea ran out before midday, which we were not expecting.
