Exquisito Chocolates founder Carolina Quijano on making chocolate in Miami's Little Havana

Both in her childhood and her early professional life, Carolina Quijano moved around a lot. “Living on planes” — especially when she was working as a management consultant — led her to all kinds of food. She joined Mike Beltrán on this episode of Pan Con Podcast to talk about how that led to her love of chocolate, how she taught herself (with some help from YouTube videos) to make her own, and what it took to eventually launch Exquisito Chocolates, a bean-to-bar chocolate factory in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood. In this episode, we also learn that Mike freaks out about his own mortality on airplanes, Nick is an OK bartender, Carolina is not a sci-fi person.
