We went with out study abroad program CEA on a chocolate tour in a town called Heredia about 30 min away from San Jose. Cacao is a major export product in Costa Rica. Two men, Julio Fernandez and George Soriano, started the Sibu Chocolate Company with the idea of being environmentally friendly. They traveled to many countries like France and Italy to properly understand how to create divine chocolate. Sibu makes organic, authentic chocolate, and it is truly delicious! They have interesting flavors such as Sibu's signature spicy truffle with cardamom, nutmeg, organic cinnamon and a hint of chili pepper. We also tried a lime truffle enrobed in milk chocolate.

| A variety of Sibu chocolates! The designs make the chocolates even more appealing. They tasted better than they look! |
