When it comes to chocolate, you may think of Belgium or France first, but did you know? In fact, Taiwan is also one of the few countries in the world that has "cocoa planting conditions"! The "Formosa Cocoa Farm" is a professional cocoa farm located in Neipu, Pingtung. It not only grows cocoa, but also takes you to understand the magical process of chocolate from fruit to finished product.
Not only adults like this place, but children will also go crazy because you can really touch the cocoa fruit with your own hands, smell the smell of cocoa fermentation, and make your own chocolate by yourself. Rather than a tourist attraction, it is better to say that it is a "dessert adventure" that activates the five senses.
🌿 Cocoa is not just a fruit, but a local gift from southern Taiwan
The name of the Formosa Cocoa Farm comes from the ancient name of Taiwan, "Formosa", which means the beautiful island. This land has sufficient sunshine, moderate rainfall and warm humidity, which creates high-quality cocoa beans and makes Pingtung gradually become one of the important cocoa producing areas in Asia.
The farm is full of cocoa trees, and orange-red fruits can be seen hanging on the branches all year round, just like the magic tree in fairy tales. There are special guides on site to explain the complete process from harvesting, fermenting, baking, grinding, to turning cocoa fruits into chocolate. You can see it clearly at once.
🍫 Make chocolate by yourself, sweeten the memories in your heart
When you come to Formosa Cocoa Farm, the most popular activity is definitely the "DIY handmade chocolate" experience! You can choose your favorite mold, pour the melted chocolate into it, and then add dried fruits, nuts, and marshmallows for decoration. It's not just learning, but also a visual and taste creation journey.
The pure chocolate made here is "Bean to Bar" grade, with real concentration, solid taste, and layered aroma, which is not inferior to imported boutique brands. Make it yourself and eat it yourself, which is particularly fulfilling.
