Cacao's Story

Classic Drinking Chocolate
The French term terroir is most popularly used with wine, but it applies just as well to other delicacies such as cheese and chocolate. The term describes the way in which the land and weather of a particular place influence the flavor profile of the food that is grown there. In this case, we’re talking about the way in which the soil and micro-climate conditions of Piedra de Plata influence the cacao that is grown in this special valley.
The small family farms in Piedra de Plata are scattered among the wooded hillsides. Cacao trees are interplanted with a medley of other fruit trees and native hardwoods. When you walk through these plantations, it feels more like walking through a forest. The Heirloom Nacional cacao trees that grow here tend to be large and overgrown, with low yields but unparalleled quality.

Regenerative Cacao that Supports Conservation
We’re using cacao trees to help restore forest on degraded agricultural land. It’s one element of a holistic regenerative agroforestry project that combines cacao trees with a diversity of tall native shade trees, fruit trees, and other food crops like bananas and plantains.
We’re doing this in partnership with TMA (Third Millennium Alliance), a nonprofit rainforest conservation organization that has been protecting and restoring forests in Ecuador since 2007.
For the full story, please read our blog article: Using Cacao to Reverse Deforestation.

Direct & Transparent Trade
We pay a farmgate price that is 3-8x the standard market price for “wet cacao" — well above the fair trade premium. To the best of our knowledge, these are the highest cacao prices on the continent.
