A few days ago I visited Dionica and her family in San Felipe de León. We’ve been using their pataxte beans in our chocolate for several years. Theobroma bicolor or pataxte Is a relative of cacao that has its own distinct nutty flavour and unlike cacao, which is harvested twice a year, it’s harvested only once, in January. Also unlike most of the cacao we use it is not fermented before drying so its known as “lavado” or washed.

I arrived at the home during the very busy season where they roast and peel the beans. They have their own artisanal chocolate business and also sell the beans through

I can’t describe what a gift it was to visit Dionicia, Lizet, Misael, and baby Izan. I learned about the plants that grow with the cacao and pataxte, such as achiote-used to colour rice and meat dishes and can also be rubbed on your lips for a very cool shade-as worn on me and Dionicia in the photo of us! In North America it gives our orange cheddar cheese its signature hue. Also growing near by was mamey, papaya, coffee, mandarins, bananas. Many of the trees were cared for by Dionicias grandparents and are over 100 years old.

Chocolate has a very colonial history and the industry continues to be horrifically exploitative all over the world. Dionicia and her family are protectors of the Chinantec language(only around 100 000 still speak it) and culture, their sovereignty and resistance was an honour to witness and their generosity was awakening to me and something I’ll never forget.

Im coming home with a suitcase full of pataxte! I hope to visit again when I’ve learned a bit more Spanish and enough Chinantec to be a more polite house guest.
