Located 150km north of the coast of Venezuela, the island of Grenada is known as the \u2018isle of spice\u2019 famous for its plantations of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and turmeric.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Since 1714, fruity and floral cocoa has been cultivated here, which benefits from the dense and generous volcanic soil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
L’Esterre Estate has been owned by the Ramdhanny family for over 70 years. The single estate is located in the northeast of the island, on the outskirts of the rainforest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The family grows cocoa and nutmeg in strict accordance with the rules of organic agriculture and agroforestry, thus maintaining the richness and fertility of the soil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The beans are harvested during the dry season, between November and April, then fermented at the property for 7 to 8 days before being dried in the sun for 6 to 7 days.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
