THE CASA CACAO BONBON

The bonbon created specifically for the Cacao Roca RX project is a unique piece crafted at Casa Cacao, condensing in a single bite the sensory richness of the cacao-producing regions. It is composed of a fine layer of dark chocolate encasing a guava gel, crunchy cacao nibs coated in dark chocolate, and a delicate ganache made with cacao pulp, soursop, and guava.

According to Jordi Roca, this bonbon “somehow synthesizes the tropical flavors native to the original cacao-producing regions,” becoming a true ode to the land, to cacao, and to the products that surround it. Its visual finish—with bright shades of red, green, yellow, and blended white—represents what the chef calls “mestizaje,” evoking the cultural diversity and sensory richness that define the gastronomic and immersive experience of the project.

Casa Cacao is the chocolate proposal from El Celler de Can Roca, a space conceived as a workshop, shop, and hotel, where the essence of cacao is celebrated from its origin to its final transformation. With deep respect for the producing communities and the biodiversity of the territories it comes from, Casa Cacao works directly with farmers to ensure fair, transparent, and sustainable trade. Following the “Bean to Bar” philosophy, each creation is born from the complete process of selection, roasting, refining, and artisanal production, maintaining the traceability and authenticity of cacao at every stage. The result is chocolates that highlight the product in its purest form, preserving the connection with the land and paying tribute to the cultural and natural richness that cacao represents.
