Setting The Bar: A Cacao Journey Into The Peruvian Jungle With Tim Shephard

How much do you know about the chocolate you eat? Where is it grown? Who grows it? How does it end up on the shelf? Not sure? Me neither. Well, my mate Tim Shephard made a doco about it and followed a group of artisan chocolate makers deep into the Peruvian Amazon in search of undiscovered cacao varietals. What they found was so much more than just a story about cacao... Conscious consumerism is a big topic and this film explores environmental sustainability, small-scale agriculture, the stories of the Peruvian farmers and the process from farm to chocolate bar. I am so thrilled to share this interview with you, this story is important and needs to be heard. I recommend listening with a cup of tea and a nice piece of dark chocolate.
