WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

• We only plant selected and proven vegetative genetic material

• We maintain a rigorous traceability of each one of our trees and their production

• We guarantee that all the cacao we export comes from a single plantation, thus assuring a homogeneous taste and quality of the cocoa beans and puree

• During the post- harvest process, a per hour control is carried out, therefore our customers can be informed of all the steps and time of each prepared batch for sale

• Since we are suppling the food industry, is our philosophy to offer a very neat cocoa bean that does not touch the ground in any stage of the production process and not contaminated with external materials, therefore is ready to use.
