Today Teresa tells us about her personal experience. A dreamer who, with great patience and sacrifice, made her dream a reality: to start her own chocolate shop in Punta Cana called Chocolate & CIA. “By putting lots of hard work and passion into the project”, is how Teresa starts off telling us her story…

In this exciting adventure, I have a travelling companion in the form of a leading cocoa supplier in the Dominican Republic, CONACADO, which brings together around 10,000 small producers. They do extremely important community work with them: they show them how to improve their production, they build schools and provide medical care, and they generate fair trade. As an added plus, the Dominican Republic is one of the main organic cocoa producers in the world… The story of CHOCOLATE & CIA in the Dominican Republic begins with this large cast of characters.

At CHOCOLATE & CIA, we hold workshops on chocolate for the guests of nearby hotels. In these workshops, we give them a unique and unforgettable experience. And, they’re the perfect showcase for transmitting part of the country’s culture and tradition, all thanks to a universally known and desired product: chocolate.

One of the first companies that gave me the opportunity to work inside its resort was the RIU chain, and I would like to thank them for the confidence they placed in me and my project. Little by little, through word of mouth, new visitors are finding out about the project and associating it directly with their experience at the resort. The ratings are excellent, and just knowing that we are able to contribute to surprising and delighting RIU customers makes us feel very satisfied.
