From Farm to Bar: The Journey of Our Regenerative Cacao

At Mashpi Chocolate Artesanal, we believe that true chocolate magic starts at the source. What makes us different is that all the steps that need to happen in order to make great chocolate happen in the same place: our farm and the journey of regenerative cacao. We like to say that we are " farm-to-bar " , but we're truly more than that, we have planted the cacao trees.

Learn more about the journey of our regenerative cacao and how your purchase supports the environment and our community.

Sowing the Seeds of Sustainability

Our story begins deep in the lush rainforests of Ecuador, where our cacao farms thrive in harmony with nature. We cultivate the finest quality cacao, Cacao Nacional Fino de Aroma, using regenerative techniques that go beyond organic farming. By nourishing the soil, restoring ecosystems, and preserving biodiversity, we ensure a sustainable future for our farmers and the planet.

Savor the Flavor

Unlike traditional chocolate-making processes, we've chosen a different path. We bring the entire chocolate-making process to our farm, allowing us to have control over every step of production. In the journey of our regnerative cacao his approach not only preserves the integrity and freshness of our cacao but also ensures fair compensation for our farmers.

From carefully hand-picking the ripest cacao pods to fermenting, drying, and grinding the beans, every stage is meticulously crafted on-site. By maintaining control over the entire process, we can guarantee the exceptional quality and unique flavor profiles that make our chocolate truly special.

A Circle of Sustainability and Fairness

Our commitment to regenerative practices extends beyond our farm, product and business. We actively collaborate with other regenerative projects, forging partnerships that empower communities and protect the environment. Through these collaborations, we contribute to reforestation efforts, promote sustainable agriculture, and support local development initiatives. You can visit the farm Ecuador.
