The cocoa beans used in our chocolates are not very well traveled.  They come from small pieces of land farmed in remote areas of Peru.  The soil in this part of Peru imparts a variety of flavors that your other bars don't have.  

We take the fermented and dried beans to our factory, located only a short drive from the cacao fields.  At the factory, we take great care in identifying the most aromatic beans and separate those for our dark chocolate line.  The selected beans then start their transformation into chocolate.  We process the beans as much as necessary, but no further, to ensure our chocolate retains the flavors naturally found in our beans.  Better beans mean better flavors. 

Cacao has more flavors than red wine and we want to preserve these flavors.  Our chocolates are produced in small batches to ensure each bar adheres to our strict quality standards.  Mass produced chocolates lose these flavors, providing a very flat flavor trip. 

Each piece of our chocolate has a different flavor that you try to identify only to have a new flavor delight your senses as you eat the next piece.  We preserve all of the natural flavors of our beans.

Makers not Melters

We are makers of aromatic flavorful chocolate.  We are not melters, who buy already made chocolate, melt it down, form bars, and sell it as their own.  We are not a mass-produced chocolate, and you can taste it in our products.

We pay well for beans

Farmers in our part of Peru not only get a fair price for their beans, they are paid well for their beans, because they produce high-quality beans.  Higher quality beans fetch a higher price because of their value.  Our farmers won a certificate at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris for aroma.  With this award more multi-national chocolate companies are buying beans from eastern Peru, this competition is increasing the price farmers receive, beyond even fair trade standards. 

We are a just company, from the farmer to you, everyone along the way is paid a fair price for their bean, a fair wage for their work, or are asked to pay a fair price for an exceptional chocolate experience.  We are an affordable luxury. Our bars have more flavor than your red wine and at a fraction of the price.  Quality is our foundation.  Our social and environmental initiatives make us a unique chocolate company.
