Organic cacao from Peru

We get the finest raw cacao from the Amazon region around Pucallpa from our partners in Peru. In this project, special emphasis is placed on social and societal influence. Our partner, Villa Andina, has strong ties to smallholders and rural life and wants to improve the living conditions of everyone involved in the supply chain. The cacao is sustainably grown by smallholder families in mixed cultures, thus protecting the rainforest and the environment. Fairtrade and organic standards apply.
