#Repost @slowfood_international with @appreposter Venezuelans used cacao seeds as coins and their cultural identity was always closely tied to the cacao plant. Even though today they have very low yields per hectare, the country still offers some of the best quality cacao in the world. Barlovento cacao is protected as an Ark of Taste product. #slowfood #biodiversity #cacao #venezuela #indigenouspeople
