Natural, Organic & Sustainable Agriculture

Madagascar cacao harvest 2022

The cacao we offer from our region grows in an area of about six hectares, among clove, turmeric, pepper, makoba, mango, star fruit, guyabano, banana, cola, guava, vanilla and more. The three cacao varieties, Forastero, Trinitario and Criollo, all grow together in a naturally organic polyculture environment.

While Forastero and Trinitario beans are purple or dark brown inside, the Criollo bean is white or light brown once dried within. Cacao pods here produce a mix of the three varieties and sometimes hybrid beans. The soil and terroir being the primary factors affecting quality, a taste comparison between Forastero, Trinitario and Criollo will likely prove indistinguishable.


The taste of the sunroasted beans is comparable to 100% chocolate without bitterness, ideal for consumption as a tasty and healthy snack or to be used by pastry chefs and bean-to-bar craft chocolate makers.
