Hoja Verde 66% Esmeraldas BIO

This delicious 66% dark chocolate has a smooth taste and is characterized by sweet and fruity notes. The true connoisseur will also discover the nutty nature of the cocoa bean in this bar.

The cocoa for Hoja Verde’s chocolate comes from the asociación Aproca in the Esmeraldas province in northern Ecuador. She knows four hundred families as members. Through such an association, small farmers affiliated with it can taste and test their own chocolate. So they are not dependent on reports from clients who may have different tastes (or interests).

These are 100% organic certified nacional cocoa beans. The renowned refined cocoa from Ecuador. The plantations take into account the conservation of natural resources and the environment. The cocoa trees grow among and among tropical plants and trees, providing a natural balance. This is better for both the farmer and the environment in the long run.
