the canyon where we're headed to meet some of the farmers that supply the beans that make our chocolate and get me an education in all things cacao. the roads up into these mountains can be tricky, so we is to take care of the local vigilante dudes that run a roadblock outside of town.
11:38 pm
it looks like a shakedown but they're a welcome sight. this hill, where cars have to slow down, was where all sorts of miscreants used to waylay travelers like us. so these guys stepped in to take care of business. >> wow, that was a big shotgun. that will shoot through an engine block. actually, i don't really know but i'm assuming. at this time of year, there's also the rain and mud, which can mean flooded streets and streams that cut right across the roads. and there's this, the maranon river. in the best of circumstances, a fairly adventurous way to get your vehicles across, a long line across a fast moving current, ferry propelled only by the flow of water. but today the maranon river is too high and the current too

11:40 pm
we make it to the other side, reasonably dry. >> beer? the maranon canyon is home to a wide range of species including and most interesting to us a strain of the cacao previously though to be almost extinct. a few years ago the trees were tested at a dna lab and had the rarest forms of cacao in the world, this stuff. don is our cacao connection, a farmer whose family has been working these mountains over 40 years. >> they're absolutely beautiful when they start out. >> really kooky looking pods when they come off the tree.
11:41 pm
they sort of look like someone glued them to the side of a tree. this is a once a year crop? >> it grows continuously but this is a peak seasons. >> try that. put one in your mouth. bite it and see the nibs inside? >> where does chocolate come from? >> the bean. okay. here's where chocolate comes from. the trees produce pods. you split open the pods and take out the beans. the buyer sun drys the beans, then roasts them. after roasting, the beans are extracted from their shells and ground up, producing chocolate liqueur. mix this concentrate with milk, sugar, cacao butter and you get what we call commercial chocolate. our chocolate bar sells for a nosebleed price that's high by even premium chocolate standards. where does the money go? most importantly to me and eric,
11:42 pm
are we doing a good thing? here's how it breaks down. the raw cacao costs one chunk. labor, the inner sleeve, this much. design, box, packaging, this much. various sundry equipment and miscellaneous, another small chunk. chris, me and eric get a slice out of every bar. that leaves this much, which the retailer takes. chef bleeding heart hippie here has already convinced me to give whatever meager profits we make off our first bar to a local charity. >> what's unusual about these pods? these beans? >> extremely high quality flavor. >> thought not around for a while? >> this was over 120 years ago and making a guy and comeback. for a choclatier, this is a once in a lifetime find. >> about 40% of the beans from these trees have white cacao beans mixed in.
11:43 pm
the rest are purplish in color. we heard of an ultra rare group of trees further up the mountains that produce pods of 100% all white pure beans and that's something that me and eric are very interested in down the road. but for now, don fortunato's daughter has prepared us a traditional peruvian mountain meal. >> wow. >> oh! >> kuinas. >> it's rice dumplings with boiled chicken inside. >> wow. this is amazing. >> not surprisingly some guinea pig of which there seems to be many around for the taking. this preparation served with a cacao sauce. >> that's good. >> all of this food is delicious. >> so chocolate, it is a luxury food item. >> yes.
11:44 pm
>> this is an area abundant with coffee, chocolate, fruit. how's life for the locals? [ speaking foreign language ] >> he says that 20 years ago, 25 years ago, it was easier for him. he was planting soybeans and coffee. >> right. >> he was making much more money. and then he didn't plant soybeans any longer and the coffee production went down so therefore he had a financial struggle for a while and now with the cacao trees they are planting, he has no more stress and fairly upbeat himself.
