We make our own chocolate with single origin, ethical & continental cacao beans.

We produce 50% of our own chocolate needs with single origin sustainable cocoa beans which are grown, harvested, fermented and sold by small municipal farms located in the North East mountains of Colombia. We directly support their economy and reduce our overall carbon footprint, while guaranteeing you a superior product with a clear, distinguishable DNA.
