Grenada Couverture

Grenada is a small island state in the Caribbean being the southernmost island of the Lesser Antilles. The island is of volcanic origin and has fertile soils with the tropical climate favouring the cultivation of various products. Grenada is renowned for its spices and is the leading producer of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg.

Over 7000 farmers cultivate cacao throughout the island and they are organised by the Grenada Cocoa Association. The basis of the «Grenada Selection» cacao consists of a targeted selection of 16 mother trees. These were selected for the intense flavour of the cacao they produce and are optimally adapted to the different types of soil present in Grenada. To grow new cacao trees, branches from the mother trees are planted in the ground, from which small cacao plants grow after a few weeks. It takes around six months before the small plants are strong enough to be planted in the farmers‘ fields. The great advantage of this unique process is that the Grenada Cocoa Association then allocates the trees to the farmers according to the characteristics of the soil on their land and thus directly controls the quality of the cacao throughout the island.
