Toledo Cacao Festival - 23rd to 25th May 2008
Posted by Kate Morton on Friday, November 02, 2007
Cacao - or cocoa as many of us know it - has played a dominant role from ancient times, when the Maya first discovered the 'magical' process that transformed cacao into chocolate, right through to the modern day.
The Toledo District of Belize is home to the organic cacao orchards where the pods are grown and harvested, and later processed into the world-renowned Maya Gold chocolate – itself based on the ancient Maya ‘kukuh’ drink, flavoured with spices and sweetened with rainforest honey.
Come and join us for a family weekend celebration of chocolate, and the unique flavours of our District! From our wine and chocolate evening to the Taste of Toledo cookery and craft fair, cacao for kids activities, Sea Toledo marine trips, the Cacao Trail, and our Culture in Harmony musical performances there’s fun for the whole family the entire weekend.
Toledo, southern Belize – the birthplace of chocolate!
