A Time to Savour


Chocolatero, Ivan Arce Santana learned the art of Belgian chocolate making in Tizaayuca, Hidalgo, Mexico. He makes delicious chocolates and drinks of many flavours in his little shop near the distinctive Iglesia de Guadeloupe high on a hill overlooking San Crisobel.

Chocolate pods are fat and green -- when dried, brown and a bit shriveled like the ones in the photo.

Ivan taught his wife the art of chocolate making. Then she divorced him and opened her own shop down the street. There's a moral to that story.
