We have invested in a cacao farm in the Guayaquil Region of Ecuador, where several hundred of acres have been dedicated to our own cacao beans. The environment in South America is ideal for growing cacao trees. The climate, the quality of the soil and the exceptional know-how of the local farmers guarantee the superior quality of our chocolate. Better than anyone else, our cacao farmers master the fermentation process that releases the characteristic aromas of the cacao beans and gives our chocolate its unique and distinctive personality, richness and flavour.

We believe in the importance of the origin of our cacao beans and in purchasing them directly because it gives us the opportunity to work closely with the cacao farmers. They pass on their expertise from generation to generation thus maintaining the traditions of good cacao farming. For our part, we ensure a sustainable relationship with safe and healthy working conditions, higher average wages and implement child labour remediation programs.
