I'm going down to Costa Rica in a week and a half, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any working cocoa plantations I could possibly visit.

The largest and best-run (by far) is FINMAC, run by Hugo Hermelink. It's located near Guapiles.

Hugo is a nice guy, I met him on my last trip to Costa Rica in 2008. He supplied lots of beans used for Dagoba bars, among many other products. A lot of his production is sold to Debelis, which is a part of Puratos.

Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can make it to that area. Do you just stop by, or do you notify him ahead of time?

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
