ALLIANCES

WARRANTIES

We have chosen to collaborate with certification initiatives that go beyond the ordinary and, above all, that reflect real efforts that go far beyond the request through a form.

QUALITY CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEAL

Chromatography analyses soil samples and provides a comprehensive reading of the interaction between minerals, microbiology and organic matter. It is a technique far superior to conventional soil studies that are limited to analysing samples of dry and calcined soil, devoid of life. Chromatography can be carried out on the farm and allows the participation of those of us who are producers, directly understanding the state of the soil, seen as an ecosystem rather than as a simple substrate.

WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY?

  • The image shows the soil recovery work carried out by MASHPI CHOCOLATE ARTESANAL, which represents the return of a production system to a forest floor. In the image, the chroma on the left shows the soil in its natural ecosystem (protected forest) and on the right, a chroma after the soil conservation work carried out by MASHPI CHOCOLATE ARTESANAL. The two examples show the work in cocoa cultivation, seeking a production system that resembles and relates to the forest.

  • MASHPI CHOCOLATE is the fruit of the perfect integration of different minerals, organic matter and soil microbiology working in harmony with organic farming, its owners can demonstrate this with the constant chromatographic analyses they carry out on their cocoa crops to justify its unique quality in the MIDDLE OF THE WORLD - ECUADOR region. MASHPI ARTISANAL CHOCOLATE IS THE FIRST CHOCOLATE PRODUCED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WORLD, WITH THE CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEAL OF GUARANTEED QUALITY WITHIN YOUR REACH.

Since 2012, we have been working intensively to establish and formalize a partnership with Slow Food International, an organization that aspires to a world in which all people can access good, clean and healthy food: for those who consume it, those who grow it and for the planet. With more than a million activists, chefs, experts, young people, producers, fishermen and academics from 160 countries. In September 2018, the Chocó National Cacao Presidium was created. Presidiums promote the rescue of a food culture linked to the production of foods in danger of extinction and the protection of unique regions and ecosystems.
