    The processing of cocoa at source—harvesting, fermentation, drying, selection, and traceability—has gone from being an industry standard to becoming a language in its own right, capable of expressing territory, culture, and vision. At the same time, it analyses how, in contemporary workshops, ingredients are no longer incorporated for decoration or flavouring, but to build narrative, balance, coherence, and transmission with the original cocoa.
