Origin
Cocoa Butter: Piura Valley, Peru
The Piura Morropón cacao bean delivers the subtle flavours and is organically grown Located in the heart of Alto Piura, Piura region in Peru. The cacao fermentary is located in San Juan Bigote.
The cacao butter is pressed from beans from the Asociación de Productores de Cacao de Piura (APPROCAP) and supports 216 farmers and their family. The collective of small farmers work in a organic agroforesty system where they grow other crops (fruit trees, coffee, rice, corn and bamboo) next to cacao. This diversified production is one of the main strategies for protecting family farming in the Piuran mountains from commercial risks or pests and diseases generated by climate change.
Sugar: Netherlands
The locally grown sugar beet is an ideal sweetner for chocolate. Its neutral character allows cacao flavours to shine without adding flavours to the chocolate (other sweetners such as sugar cane adds for example a molasses flavour to chocolate) Because of the relative small scale of the sugar beet processing industry, organic and non-organic sugar beets are combined in the extraction proces. Research shows that the CO2 footprint of Dutch beet sugar is 4 times lower compared to the average sugar cane production. This is due to a higher yield, efficient farming, harvesting and processing and the fact that it does not need to be transported over long distances. Moreover, an additional benefit is that beet sugar has a lower water consumption than cane sugar.
Dairy: Netherlands
The Netherlands is famous for its cheese and butter because of a long dairy tradition. The Dutch sea climate and terroir gives Dutch milk its specific rich flavour and is a perfect match for chocolate. We use full-cream Dutch milk to provide for a rich experience and lovely melt.
