SabiturÍa means wisdom in Spanish as the indigenous history is full of wisdom. For many centuries, the Mexican culture has retained its mysticism, rituals and many culinary traditions. And one of those culinary traditions is their special connection with chocolate, dating back 800 years. So, the logo is inspired by Mexican totem symbolising wisdom and mystery. The ancient, indigenous communities were among the first cultures in the world to use chocolate as a symbol for a social union. This union is communicated through the pattern.
