After several virtual meetings, the master chocolatiers finally met in the "Definite Chocolate" laboratory in the Dominican Republic, to concretize their recipes and share their know-how.

Jens Kamin, "Definite Chocolate" (RD) and Ralph Leroy from "Makaya Chocolat (Haiti), met as part of the Binational Cultural Dialogue project and together imagined a collection of binational chocolates whose ingredients all come from the island and which are part of the tradition and the local art of living in each country.

Together they worked out the choice of pods, then beans, tempering, roasting and skilful mixing of ganaches…

From this work was born, "QUISKEYA Collection" 3 chocolate bars with the tastes of the island with names which are inspired by the names of the Caciques of the island of Quiskeya who governed the caciquats which are today producing provinces of cocoa

Guacana:

Inspired by Guacanagaric, the cacique of Marien (north of Haiti and north-west of the RD) this tablet is made of chocolate that is enriched with a hint of coffee from our hills.

Guario:

Inspired by Guarionex, cacique of Magua (central region of the island) this bar is made of chocolate filled with peanut ganache.

Caya:

Which takes its name from the cacique Cayacao, from the caciquat of Hyguey (another part of the cocoa-producing island, in the far east): a chocolate bar deliciously flavored with cashew nuts and enriched with shards of the nut.
