Kwisiqithi esisemagqagaleni eSao Tome nasePrincipe eNtshona Afrika, umTaliyane uClaudio Conaro ukholelwa ukuba uye wavelisa eyona itshokolethi ibalaseleyo emhlabeni.UConaro ukholelwa ukuba obona butyebi bubalaseleyo buvezwa lishishini letshokholethi eneneni “kukuqhayisa okuninzi, iswekile eninzi, kunye nokupakishwa okuninzi.”Kwiminyaka emininzi, uCornaro ebesoloko esenza eyona tshokholethi ibalaseleyo emhlabeni njengemishini yakhe.

Ngoku udunyiswa ngamaphephancwadi amaninzi amnandi kwihlabathi jikelele, kwaye iimveliso zakhe zithengiswa eYurophu, eUnited States, eJapan nakwezinye iindawo.Abo babenethamsanqa lokungcamla itshokolethi awayeyenzile bacinga ukuba abazange bayingcamle itshokolethi yokwenene ngaphambili.

imveliso encinci yesiqithi ithunyelwa kumazwe angaphandle

Ngoku uCornaro uhlala kwiDemocratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe, ilizwe elincinane elikwiNtshona Afrika nenabantu abambalwa abakhe balityelela.Iqukethe iziqithi ezimbini ze-volcanic kwiGulf of Guinea - iSao Tome kunye nePrincipe Iqulunqwe ziziqithi ze-14 eziquka iRollas kunye neCarlosso.Yayikade iyithanga lasePortugal.Ngenkulungwane ye-19, yayidume kakhulu ngezinto ezimbini: amakhoboka kunye neembotyi zekoko.Ngoku kushiyeke iimbotyi zekoko kuphela.Indlu kaCornaro ikumda ongaselwandle kwikomkhulu iSão Tomé, kunye nelebhu yakhe yetshokolethi ingasemva kwendlu.

UConaro wazalelwa eFlorence, eItali, kodwa uneminyaka engama-34 ehlala eAfrika.Apha, wayezifundise kwaye wafunda yonke into ngetshokholethi.

Yena kunye neetshokolethi zakhe ngoku bahlala bevela kwiimagazini ezahlukeneyo zokutya.Umsebenzi wakhe onzima ubizwa ngokuba yi "Kona Rococo" kwaye uthengisa i-euro ezili-10 nge-130 grams.Bambalwa abantu baseSao Tome nasePrincipe abanakho ukuthenga olu hlobo lwetshokholethi, kwaye iCornaro inokuzithengisa kuphela ngolwandle eFransi, eItali, eSpain, eUnited States naseJapan.

itshokolethi emsulwa iyaphefumla

UClaudio Conaro oneminyaka engama-56 ubudala uneendevu ezingwevu kwaye amehlo akhe athambe.Wakhupha imela epokothweni yakhe wasika isilayi setshokholethi ephambi kwakhe saba yimicu ebhityileyo.Le ngqungquthela yetshokolethi kunye nejusi ye-cocoa kunye neerasentyisi, kunye nokuhlambuluka kwe-70%.Waphunga le chocolate, wabuya wangqiyama, wabukela iqela labavavanyi livale amehlo kwaye liwavumele ukuba antywiliselwe kwivumba elimnandi nelimnandi le-cocoa juice, ubumnandi berasins kunye nevumba lotywala.Uyancuma.

"Ingaba ucinga ntoni?"wabuza.

Ngokombono kaKonaro, nabani na ozama itshokolethi yakhe okokuqala uya kuqonda ukuba akazange ayidle itshokolethi yokwenene.Ukholelwa ukuba akukho chocolatelethi kweli hlabathi enokuthelekiswa "nokugcinwa kwendlu" yakhe.Ezi mveliso "zenqindi" ziquka i-75% yetshokholethi ecocekileyo kunye nencasa yejinja, i-80% yetshokholethi ecocekileyo kunye neswekile yamatye, kunye neyona nto ibhetele kubo bonke ubuncwane bakhe: 100% itshokolethi ecocekileyo.

"Impahla ePhakamileyo" ayinayo incasa yokuqala

Kodwa xa wayejamelene nesantya sokurhweba, into awayilwelayo yayilidabi eliyedwa.Kuba ufuna ukuvumela ihlabathi ukuba lingcamle itshokolethi yokwenyani, endaweni yokubonisa ubunewunewu obukhazimlayo njengabavelisi betshokholethi ezingenakubalwa.

Njengoko uCornaro wayethatha ibhokisi yeetshokolethi eshelufini, wathi: “Itshokolethi yanamhlanje ikukuqhayisa kakhulu, inyibilika yaba yiswekile eninzi, kwaye ipakishwe kakhulu.Le yi-100% ecocekileyo evela eVenezuela.Ikoko ixabisa kakhulu.”Waphunga le chocolate isesandleni sakhe, waqhekeza iqhekeza wayifaka emlonyeni, wagqiba ubuso.“Inamafutha, ikrakra, ayinavumba.Ukuba ufuna ukuthi le itshokholethi elungileyo, andazi ukuba yeyiphi enye itshokolethi engalunganga.Kodwa eyethu itshokolethi, inokukuvumela ukuba ungcamle incasa yantlandlolo yeembotyi zekoko.”

Abachasi bakaConaro ziinkampani ezinkulu zamazwe ngamazwe ezilawula ishishini letshokholethi.Benza iimbotyi zekoko ezikumgangatho ophantsi kwaye basebenzise iindlela ezahlukeneyo ukwenza itshokholethi ibe nevumba elimnandi kwaye imnandi.Wathi: "Babeka iimbotyi zekoko" kumatshini owenziwe nge-conch, osetyenziselwa ngokukodwa ukususa incasa yeembotyi zekoko.Wayethetha ngomatshini wokuxova owawufanele ukuba usetyenziswe ekuqaleni iimbotyi zekoko.Iimbotyi ze-cocoa zisilwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo kulo matshini, kwaye emva koko zifudunyezwe ukuya kuma-80 degrees Celsius, kwaye ngeli xesha, ayinayo incasa kwaphela.Emva koko baya kwongeza i-vanilla ukuze baphinde bafumane ivumba layo, bayibize ngokuthi "yeyona mveliso igqwesileyo", kwaye bayithengise ngee-euro ezili-100 nge-1,000 grams.Le yimveliso ecutshungulweyo ephulukene nencasa yayo yoqobo.

UConaro uthe itshokholethi yobisi ethengiswa kwiivenkile ezinkulu eneneni icoceke kakhulu kunezi zinto zodidi oluphezulu.

Umgangatho weembotyi zekoko ngowona ubalulekileyo

Kukho izinto ezintathu ezithandwayo kubomi bukaCornaro: ikofu, ikoko kunye nekhokhonathi.

Yayiyikofu awayeyithanda ekuqaleni.Ngeminyaka eyi-22, wayevakalelwa kukuba yonke into e-Italiya yayigqibelele kakhulu ekuthandeni kwakhe, ngoko wahamba waya eZaire (iCongo ekomkhulu layo yiKinshasa).Wathabatha amasimi amabini angasasetyenziswayo waza waqalisa ukulima ikofu.Intsimi yakhe igubungela indawo yeehektare ezingama-2,500 kwaye ikwihlathi.Kuthatha iikhilomitha ezili-1 600 ukufika apho usuka kwikomkhulu iKinshasa ngephenyane.Wahlala emasimini iminyaka emininzi.Ngeli xesha, wayenesifo seengcongconi kunye neschistosomiasis.Kodwa uyalithanda ishishini lakhe lekofu, yaye ngoku ukhumbula ukuba wayehambisa imithi yekofu ngenyameko kanye njengokuba umzi othengisa iwayini ulima iidiliya.

Kodwa ke kwaqhambuka imfazwe.Aba bavukeli bahlala kwibala lakhe lekofu.Ngo-1993, uCornaro wabalekela eSao Tome kunye nomfazi nabantwana bakhe ababini.

ulapha, wafumana ishishini lakhe leembotyi zekoko.

Ekuqaleni usapho lwaluhlala kumatyotyombe enziwe ngamaplanga ePrincipe Beach.Bekungekho baninzi abantu apho, ngoko ngamanye amaxesha bebehamba ze.Xa wayehamba imigama emide ehlathini, uCornaro wayedibana nemithi emidala yekhokho ngamaxesha athile.Ngomnyaka we-1819, uKumkani wasePortugal wayala ukuqaliswa kwemithi yokuqala ye-cocoa e-Afrika esuka eBrazil eMzantsi Melika.Imithi yekhokho eyabonwa nguCornaro yaveliswa yibhetshi yokuqala.

Akukho mfihlakalo kule mithi yekoko.Nangona kunjalo, xa kuthelekiswa neentlobo zemixube yanamhlanje imboni yetshokolethi ixhomekeke kuzo, imithi yekoko esetyenziswa nguCornaro inesivuno esincinci, kodwa incasa yeembotyi zekoko abazivelisayo ayaziwa ukuba zingaphi amaxesha angcono.Kwabo bafuna ukwenza eyona tshokholethi ibalaseleyo emhlabeni, umgangatho weembotyi zekoko ngowona ubalulekileyo.

Ifomula eyodwa engachazwanga ngokufihlakeleyo

Kodwa nangeembotyi zekoko ezikumgangatho ophezulu, uCornaro usacingisisa iminyaka emininzi ukuze afumane indlela yokuvelisa eyiyo.Kanye njengaxa abantu belungisa iidiliya xa besenza iwayini, uya kuvumela iimbotyi zekoko ukuba zibile ngaphezulu kweeveki ezimbini.

Emva koko, iimbotyi wayezifaka esitovini ukuze zome.Abasetyhini abanxibe iidyasi ezimhlophe kunye neemaski bavuthulula iimbotyi kwisefu, kwaye basuse iimbotyi ezikrakra ngesandla.Emva koko abantu baya kusebenzisa ifeni yasekhaya ukuvuthela uthuli olucolekileyo kwiimbotyi.Imveliso yokugqibela yi-cocoa paste.

Nangona kunjalo, i-Conaro igxininisekile malunga nezinye iimfihlo kwinkqubo yokwenza itshokolethi.

UCornaro akanamdla kakhulu kwintengiso yemveliso, enokuba sisizathu sokuba ishishini lakhe lingazange lidume kangaka.Akasithethi isiNgesi kwaye akafane aye eYurophu kuba uvakalelwa kukuba iYurophu iye yancipha kakhulu kunangaphambili.Ethetha ngedolophu yakhe yaseFlorence, wathi iye yaba "yiDisneyland" kubakhenkethi.Izitrato zizele zizinto zodidi oluphezulu."Akukho nto iqhelekileyo, izinto eziqhelekileyo zinokuphinda zibonwe."

ukufuna imfezeko kuphela

UConaro ungumntu othanda ukugqibelela, uxakeke yincasa kunye nesiphumo.Akangomntu kulula ukuvana naye.Yena nomfazi wakhe baqhawula umtshato kwakudala;ngoku uhlala eLisbon (ikomkhulu lasePortugal).

Wathatha isabile, wakhwela kushicilelo lwakhe oluluhlaza “Fiat”, waceba ukuya kwindawo atyala kuyo.Ekugqibeleni wathi: “Ndikholelwa ukuba ishishini letshokholethi liyasoyika.Kufuneka kube njalo.Ngubani obaxelele ukuba bathengise itshokolethi ene-'75% ecocekileyo' nangona inekoko nje encinane?"
