Barbados, already the ‘culinary capital of the Caribbean,’ now has something special to offer cheese- and chocolate-loving travellers.

Speeding along a single-lane side street in the back of a white taxi van, we weave around cyclists, construction workers, and oncoming traffic, when our driver suddenly shouts out, “Ah, there’s a red car, this must be the place!”

From a back-road Barbadian cheese-making shack to a decadent dark chocolate made on-island, these businesses are spicing up the “culinary capital of the Caribbean,” introducing new, groundbreaking offerings — all made, sold, and consumed on the island of Barbados. Darren and his workmate Kevon Hayes are giving us a private cheesemaking demo, and as they work quietly and carefully to perfect their latest batch of cheese, their passion for the process is clearly evident.

Named after her father, Asquith “Hatchman” Power, Hatchman’s Premium Cheeses is making waves in the Caribbean, and receiving recognition on a global scale. As someone who suffers from a severe chocolate allergy, a visit to a factory that produces the confection that most people crave may seem like a senseless idea, but the aroma, witnessing the traditional chocolate making process, and revelling in the results of years of hard work by Derrick Hastick, founder and chief chocolate maker at Agapey Chocolate Factory, make my chocolate factory tour a true treat.
