Cocoa is one the major agricultural products of the Dominican
Republic. As a tropical country, they can produce great products that
can be grown in this condition.
Aside from Cocoa, the country is also
known for producing world class coffee which should never be missed
by any tourists. In fact, your visit to the Dominican Republic
will
never be complete if you don't have a taste of their coffee and their
cocoa. Cocoa is the main ingredient for chocolate and you can also
enjoy cocoa drinks, which
are basically a strong chocolate beverage.
Varieties of Dominican Republic Cocoa
Cocoa from the Dominican Republic comes in two varieties. The
first variety is Sanchez and they are very common in the country
because it's a lot easier to grow.
The second variety is Hispaniola
and they are rarely seen in large quantities. Less than 5% of the
country's production of Cocoa is Hispaniola. The reason for this
rarity is that the production of this type of Cocoa requires
precision or a more scientific process right from planting to
extracting cocoa from the fruit. Naturally, the
rarer type is the
more expensive variety.
Places where Cocoa Grows
In gist, the best cocoas come from the northern part of the
country. To be specific, the best cocoas come from Cibao Valley.
Cibao is a Taino (local tribe) word which
literally means "area
where rocks are plentiful". The translation is actually the
perfect description of the area. The provinces in Cibao Valley are
actually riddled with
rocky mountains, but despite this landscape,
farmers are able to plant various agricultural products and their
cocoa is the highest quality in the land. Although any
cocoa produced
in the Dominican Republic will taste great, an experienced drinker of
native, hot cocoa will attest that the best cocoas come from Cibao
Valley.
Why Should You Care?
If you're visiting the Dominican Republic for an erotic experience
in an adults-only resort, the last thing on your mind is probably
enjoying hot cocoa. But learning
more about the country you are about
to visit will not hurt and in fact, will be beneficial for you since
you will be having fun with a beautiful Dominican lady. With
knowledge
about the industry, you will have something smart to talk
about with your lady friend. Although they know that you are there to
have some erotic fun, you have to let
them know that you care about
their country so that they will respond well to your requests.
On the other hand, knowing more about this industry should open
your eyes to the possibility of going back. While you're visiting the
country to meet beautiful Dominican
ladies, why not learn something
on the side by doing business with cocoa? This agricultural product
is not difficult to sell and they can even command a good price
because of its possible use. If you're successful in this venture,
you can visit the country for as many times as you want without
thinking of how much you have to
spend to be with a beautiful girl.
