Cacao was first introduced to Trinidad in the 16th century by the Spanish. Two hundred years later, the island became
a refuge for cacao breeds when disease and plague devastated plantations in Central and South America. New varieties were created that combined the Amazon sturdiness and the delicate character of the Criollos: the Trinitario. These cacao beans are harvested by small farmers in the area of Tabaquite Village. The beans are produced at the Tabaquite Fermentary.
