Yolanda Alcudia turned her family’s cacao heritage into an entrepreneurial venture that allows her to work from home and according to her own schedule. Her products are made from Mexican cacao using natural and traditional processes.
Yolanda Alcudia has transformed the cacao tradition inherited from her family into a business focused on producing different products derived from this crop.
Her work includes the preparation of chocolates, cocoa butter, natural cocoa and pozol, maintaining traditional methods for processing Mexican cacao.
The business allows her to work from home and organize her own schedule, while preserving knowledge and practices associated with cacao processing that have been passed down through her family.
Among the products she offers is pozol, a traditional cacao-based beverage, which she promotes as a product that can be enjoyed very cold.
Her products are sold in three cities in Veracruz, allowing the family tradition to reach consumers beyond the community where the cacao is processed.
Traditional Mexican Cacao
Yolanda promotes her products as Mexican cacao, natural and traditional, emphasizing the origin of the raw material and the traditional character of its preparation.
Her product line includes cocoa butter and natural cocoa, in addition to chocolates and pozol.
The enterprise represents an example of how the transformation of an agricultural product can become a source of income and self-employment, while at the same time preserving a family tradition connected to cacao.
Yolanda’s work demonstrates how traditional knowledge can be incorporated into a small-scale business and adapted to the needs of contemporary consumers without abandoning the identity of the product.
