What sets our cocoa apart is a combination of exceptional practices and a relentless focus on quality:
Our cocoa stands out due to our mastery of the fermentation process. This crucial step is executed with precision, resulting in cocoa beans of superior grade. Good fermentation is the foundation of high-quality cocoa, influencing flavor development and overall bean characteristics.
We implement a unique system where cocoa grading occurs directly at the farm gates. This approach ensures immediate quality assessment and classification, maintaining high standards from the very beginning of the supply chain.
Our cocoa processing techniques are state-of-the-art, contributing to the exceptional quality of our final product. We employ modern methods while respecting traditional practices that have proven effective over time.
Quality is not just a goal; it's our primary focus. We have established robust structures to maintain quality, with a particular emphasis on farm-level operations:
Pre-control measures: We implement stringent quality control directly on farms, ensuring only the finest cocoa pods are harvested and processed.
Comprehensive quality structures: Our quality assurance system spans the entire production process, from cultivation to final product.
Our management team benefits from exposure to leading cocoa-producing regions like Abidjan and Ghana. This international perspective allows us to:
- Benchmark against global industry leaders
- Adopt and adapt best practices from successful cocoa-producing nations
- Stay updated on international quality standards and market demands
By combining these elements - superior fermentation, farm gate grading, advanced processing, a quality-centric approach, and international exposure - we produce cocoa that truly stands out in the global market.
