How we fit into the bigger picture
As Local as Chocolate gets
Better Beans, Better Flavor
Home
La Orquidea chocolate was founded on
three principles:
Exceptional Chocolate
Social Responsibility
Environmental Preservation
La Orquidea chocolate uses the highest quality cocoa beans found in Peru and
the world
. We preserve the natural aroma and flavors of our cacao in each of our bars.
Making our chocolate near the fields where our small scale farmers' cacao is
grown provides fair
pa
ying wages to women in eastern Peru.
Other
chocolates send their beans halfway around the world to be turned into
chocolate and then to you. We stay as local as you can with chocolate.
Our two preservation funds help preserve rain forest and
biodiversity in
Peru. Our first fund, Cordillera Escalera, helps preserve a region of
rain forest which is home to
the
spectacled bear
. The second helps preserve species of orchids that only
grow in Peru.
We invite you to learn more about us, our
beans, our bars, and a part of the
world that is closer than you might think. Thank you for taking interest in our socially responsible company and hope to
hear from you soon
