Ecuador- Zamora Chinchipe Organic

In Southern Amazon region, Zamoré Chinchipe,  180 farming families are organised in the association APEOSAE,  and grow a selection of nacional cacao according to strictly defined harvest and post-harvest protocols. As from 2018 they participate in a project for “deforestation-free” cacao. And that tastes good: excellent flavours and forest conservation! We couldn’t be happier to feature this cacao.
