About Montadero
Montadero began with our grandmother's chocolate and a family tradition we wanted to preserve.
Discover our storyOur roots
Our grandmother Mita made chocolate with cacao grown on our family's farm in Montadero, Isabela. She learned from her father, Don Fermín, who planted cacao and passed down his recipe.
After she passed away, the practice faded, even though the family remembered the recipes.
2017
During a cheese-tasting trip to Switzerland in 2017, Kenia and I became interested in chocolate. After returning to Puerto Rico, we faced Hurricane María and found our family farm devastated.
We decided to restore it and recover the tradition.
Today
We spoke with relatives, revisited the land where our great-grandfather grew cacao and recovered Grandma Mita's recipe.
Today, we make small batches of single-origin chocolate with cacao purchased directly from farmers in Puerto Rico.
