Celebrating International Chocolate Day with Cakawa Chocolates

This holiday, which dates⁢ back to‍ 1995⁢ in France, in honor of​ the legendary author Roald‌ Dahl, author of⁣ “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, takes on a special meaning at Cakawa Chocolates,​ a factory ⁤that starts ⁤rooted in the hearts of⁢ Venezuelans, because it ⁢is full of purpose in favor of Venezuelan cocoa and those who grow it.

The Legend Behind⁣ Cakawa

According to legend, it was a maiden who tried Kakawa (cocoa)⁤ for ⁣the first time in pre-Hispanic times, because the heart of⁤ chocoatl (chocolate) was feminine,⁣ but not from a young woman‌ but from an​ old woman. Coco was a grandmother to our⁣ people, ​Nain Kakawa,⁢ the wise one, the‍ one who guided, united and loved. “This must​ be why women connect so much with chocolate,” says Soraya Achkar, founder of​ Cakawa Chocolates and professor of cultural studies.
