Chocolate Renaissance…

Sabias Que?
The cacao bean, native to Mexico and Central & South America, has a rich history dating back to 1250 BCE. Mayan and Aztec civilizations prized cacao beans, using them as currency. The word “Chocolate” derives from the Aztec term “xocolatl,” meaning “bitter water,” reflecting its early taste before the addition of sugar.
Cultural Celebrations…
Puerto Rico hosts various festivals celebrating chocolate and its production, such as the “Festival del Chocolate” in the town of Río Grande. These events feature tastings, workshops, and local artisans showcasing their chocolate creations.

Flan Facts
- Chocolate contains theobromine and phenylethylamine, compounds known to boost mood and even mimic the feeling of being in love. No wonder chocolate flan is so irresistible!
- The smooth texture of chocolate in our flan comes from tempering, where cocoa butter crystals stabilize. This process gives chocolate its glossy finish and perfect snap, even when mixed into flan.
- Cocoa butter in chocolate has a melting point just below body temperature, which is why chocolate flan melts so smoothly in your mouth, giving you that luxurious, indulgent experience.
