the world’s best chocolate. let me show you it.

chocolate

I’ve toured the Grenada Chocolate Factory. It’s a gorgeous little wooden building right on the edge of Grenada’s only rainforest. It’s painted with colors not unlike the those used on the wrapper, so it looks like something out of a badly colorized movie; somehow the tropical sunshine mutes the sight so it’s slightly shy of garish. It’s 100% solar-powered and run by an elderly Rastafarian. Nearly all of the cocoa grown in Grenada is exported to Belgium. What little bit stays in the country is made into chocolate (and assorted cocoa butter yumminess) at this one little factory.

(Sigh.)
