This mild chocolate with nutty notes is made with cacao grown by the Cedeño Aguilar family in northwest Ecuador.

Thomas and Yolande grow Arriba Nacional cacao with the utmost care, and the most progressive cacao farming methods. It was the first farm in Ecuador to receive 2014 recognition of its work with a certificate of denomination of protected origin “Cacao Arriba Nacional”. The Cedeño Aguilar family educates their workers to improve technical and quality skills and transfers know-how to neighbouring farms. The cocoa is grown in agroforestry, without any pesticide and with organic fertilizers only, which avoids land use conversion to monoculture plantations. The picking is done manually, and the beans are then fermented for 6 to 9 days in wooden boxes, then dried with a heat inductor fuelled by palm husk.

Organic cacao beans, organic cane sugar, organic cacao butter.

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
