Svenska Kakaobolaget – 71 percent KARDEMUMMA – Öko Caribe, Dominican Republic

For this chocolate, the cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic are used. Öko-Caribe is a well-established fermentation source in the province of Duarte. The fermentation company buys from neighboring farms and ferments about 450 tons per year.

The cocoa is fermented in 4-fold boxes for 5-6 days before being dried in gauze-covered decks and cement patios under greenhouse roof.

Öko Caribe maintains close relationships with its 165 farmers through technical training, agronomic practices and organic certification. In addition, owners Adriano and Gualberto have personal relationships with all farmers, who offer microfinance loans for cocoa-related expenses, as well as personal loans for family emergencies or other community needs. We have been working with Öko-Caribe since 2018.
