It was always his dream to produce his own chocolate and to have his own plantation with his own cocoa in his home country. He simply called them: Tobago Cocoa Estate West Indies Ltd.

The first chocolate from Tobago Island , Trinidad's sister island . The beans come from a plantation established by Duane Dove in 2004. It took six years for the fruit of labor, chocolate, to be "harvested". Processed Francois Pralus beans are made in his factory in Roanne, France.
