The farmers receives continuously agricultural training. Öko Caribe provides micro-finance loans for its members when needed. The cacao is characterised by earthiness, coffee and red fruit.

The Peruvian cacao is grown by Norandino farmers from the Amazonas region. The farmer cooperative’s mission is to improve livelihoods and social and environmental responsibility for all their members. The cacao adds a pleasant impression of red fruit, firm cacao and herbs.

The Balinese cacao is grown by the 230 Kerta Semaya Samaniya Farmers (KSS) in the Jembrana region of the Island, famous for its volcanic fertile soils. In 2011, KSS managed to grow the first organic cacao in South-East Asia. The cacao is known for floral, mild chocolate and herbal notes.
