BEYOND THE TASTE

For us, it’s important that everything we do positively impacts the world. Whether it’s through creating a product that will bring some joy to the every day or through making sure that with every step of our chocolate creation process we trade ethically and compensate fairly. We want to be part of the change - at whatever scale we can impact - one bite at a time.

  • BEAN FLAVOURS

    We tested dozens of beans in the search for a chocolate flavour profile that we love (and hope you will too!).

  • FAIR-TRADE

    We pay farmers higher than fair-trade standards and give back to the people that have grown the beans that make our product.

  • TRACEABILITY

    We have full visibility on the origin of the beans that make up our bars.

  • WE GIVE BACK

    We give back a percentage of our profits to farmers. Check out our initiatives page for more info!

  • VENEZUELLA, SUR DEL LAGO

    THE REGION

    Sur del Lago is one of the oldest cocoa growing regions in the world. It offers very favorable climate conditions for the cultivation of high quality cocoa.

    Over thousands of years many different varieties of cocoa trees have been brought to this region which nowadays serves as a genuine melting pot of natural, genetic crosses of different types of cocoa trees which result into beautifully rounded chocolate flavours.

    Sur del Lago is harvested from Criollo and Trinitario trees — due to the mix of the beans this cocoa has a very smooth, hearty and beautifully rounded chocolate flavour.

    THE FLAVOURS

    Full bodied and robust including even flavours of butter, hazelnuts, almonds.

  • ECUADOR, ESMERALDAS

    THE REGION

    These unique Arriba beans grow in the pacific cloud forest on the edge of Ecuador’s Esmeraldas region.

    Indiginous Chachi communities grow pure Arriba Nacional in their cocoa gardens many hours up the Cayapas river.

    Production of Emeraldas chocolate helps with the reforestation of the region and to buffer the highly endemic rainforest-hotspot of Cotacachi Cayapas by strengthening the livelihood of the Chachi communities fighting for their rainforest homes for centuries.
