A taste of Columbia

摘要

What is your background and what is the background to your business? I moved to Colombia seven years ago. I hadn't really noticed the solid bar drinking chocolate that is so common here until my wife started making it for our daughter Maria. I became hooked, having been used to the powdered version in the UK. This product is almost unrecognisable in terms of depth of taste. However, it wasn't until my friend Jim came to visit us that the idea of exporting it the UK was formed. With his background in marketing, he was convinced that we could make this work. After a number of tasting sessions, we found that the 250g bar produced by Casa Luker, a 110 year old chocolate manufacturer, was of the highest quality. Also, Casa Luker is a well-established business and was in a position to satisfy the demand that we were anticipating.
