The region is famous throughout India for its high quality coconuts, with the growing of cacao a recent development, pioneered by Harish Manoj and Karthi Palaniswamy, who own and operate Anamalai Estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Estate is made up of four plots joined by a central farm house. The plots are interplanted with cacao, coconut, nutmeg and pepper to diversify and keep the land healthy. Once the pods are harvested they are taken to the farm house and patio for cracking, fermenting and drying. The cacao is fermented in 5 tiers of wood boxes and sun dried on raised beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarish and Karthi manage their water use with drip irrigation and keep a small herd of cows to help with the weeding and manure compost. All their cultivation decisions are made on site using principles of permaculture and aquaponics, as well as Korean natural farming techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the majority of the harvest is processed for export, a small portion goes to Harish and Karthi’s local line of bean to bar chocolates, which they are producing to keep up with India’s growing demand for craft chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/1721\/7339\/files\/Whisky_Bar_2026_NIP.png?v=1792710872\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"239\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Foundry Fine Craft Chocolate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67810547105828,"sku":"ITT_4_bars","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/1721\/7339\/files\/Foundry_Chocolate_4x_Whisky_26_bars__0.75x.jpg?v=1792720398","url":"https:\/\/foundrychocolate.com\/products\/whisky-bar-x-10-copy","provider":"Foundry Fine Craft Chocolate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
