Founder and Curator Susana comes from Manabí Province in Ecuador, a cacao-growing region with a longstanding history of Arriba Nacional cacao cultivation. Her heritage hails from two regions in Ecuador: the Pacific Coast and the Andes. Her father was an inventor from the capital, Quito, who left to settle in Manabí Province because he was so mesmerised by its people and its culture and saw it as an ideal place to design and create machinery for local coffee, cacao and banana factories. Her mother came from a traditional family in Upper Manabí, strongly bound to cacao for generations. Susana has been a journalist for many years, writing for Spanish and Latin-American publications such as El Pais and El Universo. Over the last seven years, based in London, she has worked in the chocolate and cacao industry, as a journalist, a chocolate taster and entrepreneur. In 2013, she returned to Ecuador to found Montecristi Chocolate, which won several awards at the Academy of Chocolate. Cárdenas Chocolate is her new venture founded at Cambridge Judge Business School, UK. She is committed to creating chocolate with precious and heritage cacao that preserves primary forests, regenerates vintage cacao plantations and empowers local communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa337067edafd59517819b6/1604604184462-BDGW0ETKV809VSE74I4E/kosak.png About Us Kosak Chocolat France https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa337067edafd59517819b6/1604604004937-MCI0YWDMB09WSJJZLDEE/moysesstevens.jpg About Us Moyses Stevens London, UK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa337067edafd59517819b6/1604604122982-3BJSPHCB3KODIOKRK2IW/eureka.png About Us Chocolates La Colonial de Eureka Madrid, Spain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa337067edafd59517819b6/1605896078710-R4VBBQFL7YJZNX0APEOJ/ecuagourmet.jpg About Us Ecuagourmet Ecuador https://www.cardenaschocolate.com/products daily 0.75 2021-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa337067edafd59517819b6/1609184774730-H5M5YHR4XKEV05QWC86M/giftbox.jpg Products - Handmade Gift Packages We offer ready made and custom order gifts for all different types of special events in your life or in the lives of your friends and family.
