Pedro Martinho

Pedro Martinho is the head of a farming co-operative in Peru, producing high quality produce for the international market. This is an in-depth interview for all the cacao nerds! He shares in great detail how the cacao is grown and how it is processed (without the use of heat), into the products that we have on our shelves: cacao nibs, powder, butter, and liquor. He explains the importance of using low temperatures, the strict controls they employ to ensure a premium product, and his outstanding fair-trade practices.
