We visited this shop during a visit to Tlocolula Sunday Market in May, 2015. The smell of the store was intoxicating and the counter workers were very helpful, explaining and offering samples of chocolate preparations we were wondering about.
We ended up buying and taking home (to US) some chocolate para mesa almendrado for making hot chocolate, (which makes VERY tasty hot chocolate), AND two kinds of Mole paste - Rojo y Negro. This Mole paste makes EXQUISITE mole sauce and puts any mole dishes I have experienced in restaurants back home to shame.
If you are ever in Tlocolula, Oaxaca and you like chocolate, be sure to pay this shop a visit. It is a great experience, and you most likely will not leave empty handed! read more
