The land
Esmeraldas, located in Ecuador is a land of dark soil and tropical fruits considered by many one of the richest and most biodiverse locations on earth. Our cacao trees are native species with distinct floral, tropical, and fruity notes. We respect our soil and climate as a gift from mother earth.
Variety
To make our Herencia chocolate bars, we only use one variety of cacao: 'Fino de Aroma'. A native species to Ecuador, and sought after many experts as it is one of the most complex cacao's in the world. It is charged with wonderful organoleptic characteristics that not only brings taste but a wealth of nutritional value.
