DOMINICAN REPUBLIC – Taino Los Marmolejos

Embracing the rich heritage of the Taíno people, which translates to “men of the good” or simply “good people,” we strive to embody and honor their spirit through this historical cacao selection.

Nestled in the northern region of the Dominican Republic lies Guananico, a place where Alejandro has created something truly special. Alejandro is not just a farmer; he’s one of the most charismatic people you could ever meet with a truly unique character, something that he directly reflects in his cacao beans and their genetics.
