August marks St. Lucia Chocolate Heritage Month. The island’s chocolate legacy dates back to their thriving cocoa industry in the 1700s. Still produced today, native cocoa is popular in both sweet and savory cuisine. Local spas get in on the trend offering chocolate-infused treatments. Visitors can also go on cocoa plantation tours to experience the process firsthand.
