    Del Oro Chocolate Factory, Dominican Republic is well known for their chocolate production, so of course I had to take a Del Oro Chocolate Factory tour. The cultivation, processing and exporting of raw cocoa and other cocoa products is a large portion of their economy and they do it well! Much of their chocolate makes it's way to the US and Europe.
