Full of real social impact: Dario Betancur is an example of success for farmers in Colombia. We partnered with him in 2023 to ensure volume of high quality cacao for our exports. In his farm, Bueno Aires, he employs over 100 people to harvest and post-harvest cacao. The story of how he grew from being a small farmer to this size is a motivation for all of our over 400 allied small scale cacao growers.

WE BUY CACAO IN THEIR FARMS' ENTRANCE
The logistic cost in rural Colombia is extremely high. Our farmers live in mountains far away from the towns through hardly accesible roads. This is one of the reasons why intermediaries exist.We come to each of our farmers farm and pick up the cacao as a fruit, assuming the logistic costs.
WE START MAKING OUR CHOCOLATES FROM THE POST-HARVEST PROCESS
Ever wonder why cocoa butter is added to a chocolate bar when the cocoa bean alone naturally contains 50%-60% of cocoa butter?It is added to hide off-flavors from poor post-harvest (or lack of relationship with farmers) like bitterness, astringency and acidity.We do not need to do this as we control the fermentation and drying of all the beans in our bars.
WE EMBRACE THE CACAO BEAN TO MAKE THE HEALTHIEST PRODUCTS
We believe that respecting the cacao bean starts with recipes free of extra cocoa butter and where the only % of cocoa content comes from the bean, which is naturally full of antioxidants and other healthy compounds. Our recipes use other healthy and specialty ingredients but start from the concept that to make premium chocolates you have got to work on producing top quality beans.
