PERU – Belén Dulce Organic
Nestled behind the majestic cordilla of Central Peru, approaching the breathtaking Yanesha national park, lies the hidden gem of Belén. Here, indigenous Yanesha people and Mestizes alike work hard to cultivate the cacao.
This regional blend of cacao is harvested with great care and processed by the cooperative.
Post-harvest is primarily run by the dedicated and hardworking women of the community, creating value for their fellow community members. With flavours of coconut, bananabread and spices, Belén Dulce is a great tropical discovery!
