In 2019, for example, Nong Joe won, out of 226 participants from 55 countries the prize for the best cocoa beans of the world in the International Cocoa Awards (ICA). Philo Chua sources the cocoa, in collaboration with the organisation Gawad Kalinga, from a group of farmers. Gawad Kalinga helps people out of poverty.

Les merFor Aroma & Clean Cup - Thickness-1: Thickness 0.15 mm - Density: High - One-Side Crepe (No crepe on inside and crepe on outside) There is no crepe texture on the inside of the filter paper, thus making the contact surface area small. Fine coffee powders attach within this small area, creating resistance for the water. By creating extra resistance, plenty of aromas are able to be extracted. Additionally, thanks to the outside crepe, the brewed coffee flows smoothly down the filter. Because its paper density is high, almost all fine powder is removed perfectly. You can get a clean cup of coffee.
Les merThe botanical name of the goldenberry is physalis peruviana. The second word already indicates that it comes from Peru and the surrounding area. So also from Ecuador. It is better known as the Cape Gooseberry. The cape in the name has nothing to do with the cape in South Africa, but with a cloak, the cape.
Les merThe first time Morin bought Peruvian cocoa beans, in 2002, it was only a few bags. They discovered the remarkable quality and developed a keen interest in cocoa from other Peruvian regions. In 2004 everything came together, as Morin started working with a French-Peruvian couple who conduct direct trade with the producers in Peru, creating the all-important short chains and transparency. The beans used for this 70% organic chocolate bar originate from one single plantation in the Chanchamayo region of central Peru. They are a mixture of Criollo and Trinitario beans. The owner of the farm grows several types of trees, including papaya and coffee, in a plantation resembling a natural forest. For Morin, this farm stands out as a positive example: the farmer is very knowledgeable, is organically certified, and has similar yields from his mixed forest system, compared to other farmers who grow only cocoa.
Les merDefinite creates flavoured bars with natural and locally sourced Dominican ingredients, to bring you a special Caribbean experience. Eat good chocolate, close your eyes, and you are on a journey through the different regions of the Dominican Republic. The organic cocoa for this bar is grown in Finca Elvesia (Hato Mayor Province). The farm is set among rolling hills, far from the busy beaches and resorts. Located in the agricultural community of El Valle, it covers over 150 hectares of productive land. Finca Elvesia is considered one of the most exceptional farms in the Dominican Republic, not without reason. Amongst other things, it boasts a large collection of cocoa varieties, which reached the Dominican Republic mainly from Venezuela starting in the middle of the 17th century. Visiting Finca Elvesia farm feels like entering another universe – a peaceful cosmos of cocoa trees that sprout red, orange, yellow and green pods of all shapes and sizes. Over the years, the farm has changed ownership several times. Today it is run by Ramon Lopez. Ramon grew up in El Cibao, the heart of the Dominican cocoa sector. He is assisted by Isidro Castillo and employs around thirtyfive people. The Dominican rum included in this bar is from Barceló.
Les merNestled in the remote mountains of Venezuela, lies the village of Chuao, known for its coveted cocoa plantations. The unique cocoa bean variety grown here is cultivated under the shade of larger trees, including banana, mango, lemon, or cedar. With a total annual production of 18-20 tonnes, the Chuao cocoa farmers take great pride in designating their cocoa as ‘the best in the world,’ a claim supported by the Cocoa de Chuao, Appellation d’origine label they received in 2000. The beans undergo a 7-day fermentation process in wooden boxes, followed by sun-drying on the village square in front of the church, which undoubtedly contributes to their exceptional flavor.
