Mexico has played an historical and important role in cacao and chocolate-making. Unfortunately, much of today’s chocolate is very sweet and has lost its pure cacao flavor due to an increase in mass production and a decrease in natural creation. The chocolate that Campeche grandmothers made was from pure cacao and was 100% natural, so it had immense value. For De la Mora, her business started with making chocolate just for the family, but over time it kept expanding to friends and other families in the community. What started as a small, informal hobby has grown to the established and successful business it is today. According to De la Mora, she wants to save the traditions, like chocolate-making, that gave her people its identity.
