The growth in the expectations of consumer countries for Andean cacao have opened to the Peruvian cacao a window of opportunity that Peru is efficiently tapping. Peruvian government officials seeking to replace Coca plantations with sustainable farming supported by international cooperation agencies like GTZ from Germany and USAID have launched a vast program to improve Peruvian cacao performance by selecting quality trinitario clones, and improving production processes, in particular in the post-harvest stages. Nevertheless, the most spectacular progress has been accomplished in the transition from traditional to organic cacao plantations, to meet increasing world demand.Our suppliers are deeply involved in this development process working close with USAID and several cooperatives sourcing and promoting the best selection out of the Peruvian production.

 

Our beans are 100% Peruvian and of excellent quality, accurately cleaned, correctly fermented and dried. They are used for the production of derivatives of cocoa such as: cocoa nibs, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, shell and cocoa powder.
