As a part of this panel we are proud to introduce Nick Davis of One/One Cacao in Jamaica.
One/One Cacao started as a challenge, Nick Davis was working as a foreign correspondent in the Caribbean for BBC News and was doing a story about the Grenada Chocolate Company and interviewed its legendary co-founder Mott Green, a New Yorker who relocated to the island and started an organic and sustainable farming co-operative that took the cocoa from bean to bar.
“My family originally came from Jamaica and I said I’d love to do something similar on the island, he told me that if I was really interested I should go make my own chocolate.
Fast forward 4 years and One/One Cacao have a small award winning manufactory in the cocoa growing parish of St Mary that sources beans locally and from across the island, from St Thomas and Portland in the East, through to St Catherine, Clarendon and Trelawny in the centre, as well as from in Hanover in the West."
In Jamaica there’s a saying; “One, one cocoa full basket” it sort of means that little by little we get the job done.
“We work hands on with individual farmers and co-ops and know exactly where our beans come from, good beans in great chocolate out”.
"We make chocolates from Bean to Bar, in this age of mass produced, cookie cutter food, we hunt out exceptional cacao from heirloom trees and turn it into memorable chocolate that leaves behind more than what melts using two ingredients, cane sugar and cacao. We also use the finest single origin cocoa butter to make luxurious white chocolate and combine it with Caribbean superfoods like coconut, turmeric, soursop, sorrel and cashew, Jamaican sea salt, naseberry, vanilla pods, cinnamon and nutmeg to create something local but incredible."
The company now also does online experiences in making bean to bar chocolate with guests from around the world as well as corporate events.
In 2017 a year after opening, One/One Cacao won a silver and bronze at the Academy of Chocolate Awards.
