School is born in Nicaragua to make 'divine food' | Video

Managua, May 16 (EFE).- In recent years, Nicaraguan cocoa has established itself as some of the best in the world for making chocolate, and now the country is about to reach new heights with the establishment of a school where people will learn to make the "food of the gods."

Privileged with cocoa of the Trinitarian species, sometimes Creole, the Nicaraguan beans stand out for their unique aroma and flavor.

During a tasting exercise, the chocolate chef María José Tejero demonstrated how Nicaraguan cocoa allows the production of "divine" chocolate with no more ingredients than the seed itself. (Camera: RENEE LUCIA RAMOS).

TRANSLATIONS:

- What we are doing is opening a parent company in Managua to train future chocolatiers. Nicaragua has wonderful cocoa, with a quality that the world is looking for, and in order to have them ordering chocolate from us, we have to have chocolatiers.

- It is a wonderful way for those people who have always had restlessness, who like cooking and who have always wanted to start a business in chocolate or 'bean to bar' chocolate.
