For this chocolate we use cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic. Öko-Caribe is a well-established fermentation source in the province of Duarte. The fermentary buys from neighboring farms and ferments about 450 tons per year.
The cocoa is fermented in 4-fold boxes for 5-6 days before being dried in mesh-covered decks and cement patios under greenhouse roof.
Öko Caribe maintains close relationships with its 165 farmers through technical training, agronomic practices and organic certification. In addition, owners Adriano and Gualberto have personal relationships with all farmers, who offer microfinance loans for cocoa-related expenses, as well as personal loans for family emergencies or other community needs. We have been working with Öko-Caribe since 2018.
Ingredients: Cocoa, cane sugar, milk powder, cocoa butter. May contain traces of nuts.
