The cocoa beans for this chocolate come from the Sierra Madre de Chiapas in Mexico. Original Beans discovered this cocoa in the south of the country and, in collaboration with the indigenous Zoque people, established a plantation and fermentation facility. Refined with cashew paste and pieces of hazelnut, the chocolate reveals a pronounced nutty character, harmoniously rounded off by delicate roasted notes.
Since autumn 2018, the South Tyrolean manufactory Karuna has been producing wonderful chocolates. Katja and Armin, the founders, give high priority to ethically traded and organically grown fine cocoa. For sweetening they use Fairtrade raw cane sugar from Brazil. The organic cocoa butter is pressed from Nacional Arriba cocoa from the area around Los Rios and Esmeraldas in Equador. The almonds and fruits used are also organically produced. Newly, the packaging is also completely organic.
