Local legend Molly Walton founder of Punta Coco Soaps manufactures her coconut oil based products on Isla Cristobal in Bocas del Toro. Her high quality virgin coconut oils create silky smooth soaps that lather up in your hands. All of the soaps are hand poured, hand cut and hand packaged. Recently, Punta Coco launched a line of shampoos and conditioners and our customers are raving about it. While quantities of each unique scent are in stock, they can be purchased at the Super Gourmet. For more information on Punta Coco Soaps click here.

Honey has so many healing properties and health benefits we want to share with our community and yours. Plus it makes a great gift! We try to carry as many products as we can from Miel Boquetena and it flies off our shelf. To learn more about their honey visit their website honeybeepanama.com.
Why Coffee in Panama?
Coffee needs the perfect climate and environment to grow and flourish and Panama's got it! Our mountains near Boquete provide an optimal temperature for premium growth year round. The precipitation patterns in Boquete, located in the Chiriqui Province in the center of the country come from the Pacific side between May and December and from the Atlantic coast between December and March. The winds blowing over the mountains from the north, create a fine mist called bajareque that acts as a huge air conditioner ensuring that the ripening of coffee cherries is a slow process. This allows for a balanced bean with medium to high acidity, containing a variety of flavors from vanilla to citrus and more. The famous geisha bean flourished in this region putting Panama on the map amongst coffee growers globally.

They take pride in their growth and roasting techniques and we try to ensure that same quality and details are brought to our customers in our coffee station at the front of the store.

Why Chocolate in Panama?
Panamanian chocolate is only beginning to hit the scene on the world's chocolate (cacao) market and it's making a splash! Cacao trees, native to the tropical rainforests of South and Central America thrive under the jungle canopy of Panama's Caribbean coast, in the nutrient filled soil of the rain-soaked region. Rich, colorful cacao is picked, dried, ground and heated by indegenous farmers and chocolate artisans throughout Bocas del Toro.
At the Super Gourmet, we are fortunate to carry the largest variety of organic Caribbean artisan chocolate and cacao products. We have raw cacao, nibs, bars, brownies and more. Visit the store and sample local products.
Brands available in store include Island Cacao, Dorothy's Own, Oreba, Tropical Chocolate Cafe. Pick up a treat to satisfy a craving and bring some home for your family and friends to try.
