The fact that she focuses on a good partnership with the farmers is the real magic.

[arizonatea]

Saving this in case humanity forgets how to make chocolate.

[angelmujahid]

It never ceases to amaze me when I witness a person doing what they were clearly put on earth to do. This was incredible.

[marcuscarana]

She's a candy maker but she speaks, explains, behaves and acts like a scientist and an engineer and also an ethics advocate just for the fact that she gives so much value in partnership with local farmers.

[leechuanyang]

She's basically got a phd in chocolate making

[markus]

She’s dedicated and knowledgeable about her craft. The fact that hot chocolate inspired her to create an entire process from scratch is just remarkable. Truly, she’s a model thinker. Not many people are able to follow their passion with this much clarity and drive. Mad respect to her, I admire that.

[Califdml]

Hands down one of the most informative videos I have ever watched on making chocolate. I love how her chocolate is not made by huge machines, but in a small environment where she has complete control from start to finish. She's an amazing woman.

When I get to visit Miami, I will definitely drop by, and as a Canadian working in Belgium as a chocolatier I give her my utmost support. She gives full appreciation to the chocolate farmer. Good job.

I delivered food to this lady once, she's really nice. The smell that comes out of the front door while its closed is incredible.

[mrgreen-qwfh]

I admire how knowledgeable she is, about her craft and her passion towards it.

[tortuga]

I love how knowledgeable she is about her work. Explains each process with such detail and is proud of her final product.

[tenengmuluh]

This lady inspired me to pursue chocolate making. Coming from a country that produces these beans primarily for export but in turn imports lots of chocolate, her voice keeps telling me to learn this and return home where I can help farmers who get paid very little from producing these beans under very harsh conditions.

[dennisj.plotsi]

She explains everything in such a detailed way is like giving us a history lesson about cocoa.
This lady is 🔥.

“We’re not talking about fair trade, we’re talking direct trade”

That is the way!

[allanvijay]

Wow, wonderful narration by Carolina. I didn't realize until now how intense chocolate making is. A lot of work goes into the process of chocolate making. Everything seems so genuine, and I now understand why chocolate is costly. Thank you Caroline for supporting the farmers and thank you for the awesome video.

[JigglePhysicsX]

She really treasures that symbiotic relationship with her and the farmers. I love that.

[itzzara_]

This is kinda irrelevant, but i realised that when people comment something positive about someone, especially in the comments section, it affects how others judge as well. For example, everyone here is really supporting this lady and are commenting lovely things about her, so it then makes me think the same, but if a whole bunch of people where to say bad things about someone, the majority of the people would also start criticising. This really goes to show that we truly affect the way others think, and it is a really important thing that we all become role models to each other. Always be kind. Also I agree this lady is really educated, much respect.✊

[mariacharles]

This woman is amazing you can tell she cares about her job and the farmers who grow and produce the cocoa she a true genius

[julieowen]

Good for you!! It's so true. No one seems to appreciate how long it takes to grow that bean...I'm glad to hear farmer's are being paid what they deserve.

[johnabney]

This is so good all the way around for everyone, it’s incredible. She produces a world class level chocolate that the rest of us can enjoy like royalty and everything done with the best intentions for everybody. I wasn’t expecting a heartwarming story, the word chocolate will pull anybody in…😊
