This week we are focusing on the cacao grown in the Dominican Republic.
Featuring bars from Palette de Bine, Cacao Prieto, Hummingbird, and LetterPress.
We couldn't be happier to announce the long awaited return of Cacao Prieto to The Chocolate Project.
Started by Dan Prieto Preston in an old red brick warehouse in Brooklyn NY about 10 years ago, Cacao Prieto uses beans from the family farm, Coralina Estates, located in the Dominican Republic.

The bars are made in the NY warehouse, which is also a distillery producing spirits from Dominican fruits – including cacao!
