PROGRAM
CACAO
Cacao is not just a crop; it is a living heritage of the Mesoamerican territory.
Our purpose is to reverse the historical logic of extraction and consolidate a model of productive sovereignty through Community Chocolatemaking.
Our first encounter with cacao was within Indigenous territories. For years, communities such as Yorkin, in Bribri territory, were forced to sell their cacao as wet beans—unprocessed—at prices that did not reflect their labor. In response, we promote a process of gradual technical development that enables families to strengthen their autonomy and master every key stage: from controlled fermentation and drying to roasting and cocoa butter production.
FROM BEAN TO BAR, IN THE HEART OF THE RAINFOREST
Our act of dissent lies in where transformation takes place. Unlike conventional models, where cocoa travels far from its origin to be processed, we aim to complete the bean-to-bar cycle within the community itself.
TOWARD A MOBILE CHOCOLATERIE
Our vision for the future breaks geographic barriers. We are working on the implementation of a Mobile Chocolaterie: a traveling processing unit designed to reach even the most remote territories. This innovation will allow communities in isolated regions to access the technology needed to transform their harvest into finished chocolate, democratizing access to value addition.
