The farmers of Tumaco are organized in small groups where they carry out traditional activities such as the cultivation of cocoa, banana, coconut, timber, corn, cassava, fruit trees, and fishing, among others.
In the communities, cocoa is an ancestral activity rooted in the culture and daily life of the communities, cultivated within a polyculture system, specifically in the area known as mixed orchard with great diversity of species and tree strata. Cocoa is close to the plantations of banana, coconut, citrus, chontaduro, cedar and laurel to receive the shade and protect from the rays of the sun.
Cocoa is one of the main plantations of the region of Nariño. It has about 5,970 producers, an area of 14,440 hectares that represent 11.5% of the total area of the Cocoa plantation in Colombia. Its production capacity is approximately 200 kg / ha / year. That´s why we want to direct our efforts to improve the conditions of the region.
The most representative areas of cocoa production in Tumaco are: San Luis Robles, fincas contiguas a la Carretera Tumaco – Pasto, en los ríos Mira, Caunapí, Rosario, Tablones, Chagüí y Mejicano. Tumaco is the most important region of the department of Nariño because it reaches the production of other regions.
Table Chocolate
Drink chocolate with sugar: It has three packings:
- 500 gr
- 250 gr
- 25 gr
It is considered 100% Tumaqueño.New business is being developed, related to bitter and sweet drink chocolate.
The process begins in the production of cocoa liquor paste, where the grains are cleaned, dried to separate the husk and eliminate the germs. Once cooled, the grains are crushed into large pieces called nibs and separated to classify them. After that, grinding the nibs until obtaining the paste, dough or cocoa liquor. Then the pressing takes place, to obtain a liquid part and a solid part.
The liquid part is cocoa butter, which will be deodorized, filtered and molded to obtain blocks after solidification. Then cocoa paste from different sources with sugar and vanilla are mixed, to obtain table chocolate.
After the conching is made, and the cocoa paste loses its acidity and traces of moisture.The cocoa paste is stirred and smoothed in cava for several hours. Thus, the cocoa paste acquires a firmness that will give the chocolate an appropriate softness and creaminess.
Finally the chocolate is heated to bring it from the liquid state to the solid state. This increase in temperature favours the stable crystallization of cocoa butter. The result is a homogeneous, grain-free chocolate with a shiny appearance.
