About Casa Bosques
Casa Bosques Chocolate is a project based on the exploration of the history, methods, origins and culture of chocolate.
Building on the foundations of a single origin, bean-to-bar practice, Casa Bosques is constantly experimenting with new techniques in chocolate making. The constant search for rare and unique cacao beans leads towards purity, intriguing cacao blends and the highest quality raw ingredients available - as well as the chance to encounter local farmers and farming practices, diverse climates, and methods of fermentation.
Each new approach to the cacao bean informs their practice, invoking the constant discovery of new harmonies in flavors aromas, and textures. By experimenting with herbs and spices, grains, seeds, medicinal plants and insects, Casa Bosques Chocolate surveys a vast pedagogy of international culinary experience in order to recount authentic stories of provenance and taste.
“Each type of Casa Bosques chocolate represents a moment or a place in my life story linked to my own sense of wanderlust. Every time I am somewhere new, I imagine a new chocolate variety to represent that moment, place or emotion. Sometimes that means looking into tradition and experiment with friends and chefs in order to explore and learn from each other.”- Rafael Prieto - Founder.
