Welcome to Cyrila's Chocolate page!

Cyrila's Chocolate is a family-owned and run cacao business in the village of San Felipe, Toledo District. Matriarch Cyrila -- together with her son, Juan, and daughter-in law, Abelina -- harvest and process the organic cacao grown on their family farm for use in their wonderful range of chocolate and cacao products.

This is chocolate like you've probably never tasted before, with an intense flavour enhanced by all-spice and local wild vanilla, as well as the extra ingredients in their range of flavoured chocolate, from organic orange peel to the baalam nut - itself a relative of the cacao bean - or the chili chocolate inspired by the spicy chocolate 'kukuh' beverage drunk by the family's ancestors.

How to reach us

You are welcome to call in to buy our chocolate products, and farm tours and chocolate-making workshops are available  by advance reservation. Please call us on 666-3444 or email cyrila@gmail.com.

We are located in the village of San Felipe, in the Toledo District of southern Belize. From Punta Gorda, the District 'capital', head north west on the Southern Highway through the villages of Cattle Landing, Forest Home, Eldridgeville, and Jacintoville.

As you leave Jacintoville, turn left onto the San Felipe and Barranco Road (identified with signposts to the Sarstoon Temash National Park, and signs for Cotton Tree Lodge and Tranquility Lodge) and then drive approximately 2 miles to the village of San Felipe. You will find us in a small cement building on the right-hand side of the village, next to the village playing field. We look forward to meeting you!
