Origin of the cocoa beans | Heinde & Verre Bean to bar

The organically certified cocoa in this blend is cultivated in agroforestry systems, among other sources. Three single-origin cocoa beans from Peru, the Dominican Republic, and Bali add excitement to the Dutch Original Blend.

Peruvian cocoa is cultivated by the Colpa de Loros cooperative in the Ucayali region, which has approximately 250 farmers. With the help of international development funds, sustainable cocoa plantations were established in an area once known for drug trafficking and crime. The cocoa harvested there, with its pleasant flavors of honey, caramel, and berries, is certified "organic" and "Fair for Life."

In the Dominican Republic, the cocoa comes from Öko Caribe. 165 farmers in the heart of Duarte Province have joined forces to produce award-winning cocoa renowned for its consistently high quality. Öko Caribe continuously trains its participating farmers and also provides its members with microcredits when needed. The cocoa is characterized by earthiness, coffee, red fruits, and a hint of nutmeg.

Balinese cacao is cultivated by the 230 Kerta Semaya Samaniya Farmers (KSS) in the Jembrana region of the island, famous for its fertile volcanic soils. In 2011, KSS succeeded in cultivating the first organic cacao in Southeast Asia. The cacao is known for its floral, herbal, and spicy notes.
