Where it's grown
Cocoa grows in the Sambirano River valley of Madagascar. Fresh cocoa beans are obtained from 8 ecologically certified small-scale farmers. In this region, cocoa trees coexist with other trees and fruit trees. Local farmers are committed to environmental care and natural forest landscapes. Collaborating with organizations such as the Rainforest Alliance, they plant trees to combat soil erosion and contribute to natural forest restoration. This ensures not only high product quality but also sustainable production.
