ABOUT THE REGION:

As in other parts of the Monte Plata province that contribute cacao to the Rizek  Essentials origin collection, it seems as if cacao has been there for centuries along  with the farms in the municipalities of Yamasá, Peralvillo and Bayaguana that account for the bulk cacao production. But the history of the region is far more  complex than meets the eye.
