ÖKO-CARIBE

Öko-Caribe is a cacao processor in the town of Pimentel in the Duarte province in the north of the Dominican Republic.

The Duarte province is the largest cacao growing region in the country and Öko-Caribe maintains close relationships with over 150 small farmers within the region providing training and organic certification support.

The farmers harvest the cacao pods, open them, extract the pulp-covered beans and bring them to Öko-Caribe who then complete the fermentation and sun-drying process.

Definite Chocolate

Definite Chocolate is an artisan chocolate maker from the Dominican Republic.

Jens and Marjorie met in 2008. Marjorie is from the Dominican Republic and the couple and child moved there in 2015.

Jens wanted to be a chef from an early age, but became an engineer in the energy sector. Cooking became his hobby and took courses to make chocolates in his spare time. In 2014 he visited the Salon du Chocolat in Cologne and became addicted to chocolate.

In the Dominican Republic, he turned his hobby into his profession. Marjorie and Jens started Definite Chocolate, the first Dominican chocolate maker to win an award at the Academy of Chocolate in 2018. Definite grew, in 2019 it moved from the kitchen to a real workshop and a tempering machine was purchased – until then, Jens had been tempering by hand.

Jens and his staff make chocolate, Marjorie does everything around it: packaging design, finance, taste tests, social media and whatnot.

The motif on the beautiful packaging is derived from the decorations of the colonial houses that still stand on the island.
