We Are Close to the Cocoa Producer.
Chocolataria Equador has been developing upstream work in order to fully control the value chain of fine chocolate production. In this way, we highlight the unique characteristics of cocoa from São Tomé & Príncipe and ensure a true ‘anchoring to the land’ through the direct trade of cocoa with partner plantations, further reinforced by the historical memory of our country. Thus, we believe we respond to a niche market that continues to grow, becoming increasingly solid and consistent. This chocolate offers a delightful tasting experience during which the unique characteristics of cocoa from this region are revealed.
The process
Handcrafted
The cocoa from São Tomé is still processed in a very artisanal manner. It is sun-dried and fermented in wooden boxes. The entire process of harvesting, fermentation, and drying is monitored to ensure the characteristics of this origin are preserved.
