Where it is grown

These cacao beans are grown at Hacienda Victoria in Cerecita, near Ecuador’s Pacific coast. The farm focuses not only on cacao quality but also on supporting the local community – its operations provide stable income for more than one hundred families, while placing strong emphasis on the land, its workers, and local wildlife.

Hacienda Victoria grows Arriba Nacional cacao, prized for its delicate aroma and rich flavor. The farm helps preserve Ecuador’s long-standing Arriba cacao tradition and is the first cacao farm to receive carbon-neutral certification.
