Speciality Plantation Cocoa

Consumers today are always on the lookout for new and exciting taste sensations. Obviously, cocoa and the products made from it should not be ignored. However, only a few cocoa bean varieties from around the equator offer truly amazing tastes and aromas. We have selected some that could be considered real gems.

Just as for wine, coffee or tea, each type of plantation cocoa reflects characteristics typical for the particular variety, soil conditions and regional climate. In order to obtain optimum flavour, it is necessary that only the finest examples are harvested. In all aspects of processing the beans, maximum care focuses on preserving and capturing every delicate flavour and aroma.

Our range of cocoa comprises a breadth of tastes and aromas that are entirely different from any standard product. The taste experience provided by each is truly one-of -a-kind, so  these products are just begging to be explored.
