Our journey with cacao and chocolate started with the Davao region.This area is known to be one of the most agriculturally rich places in the Philippines. Dubbed as the “fruits basket” of the country, it boasts a great collection of fruits such as mangosteen, durian, banana, mango, and, of course, cacao. We started our cacao journey in this region at Davao del Sur in 2015 where we met farmers who continue to share our vision to create fine quality cacao.With our partnership, we have applied a premium price that would significantly improve their income. Most of the farmers we have met during this time still remain as valuable partners to this day.
The farming communities that we work with are from different areas of Mindanao with unique cacao varieties that offer diverse flavor profiles. Most of our partner farmers are generally located in Davao del Sur, with farms situated around Davao City, namely in Calinan, Subasta, Tagakpan, Malabog.We also partner with the baranggays of Saloy and Paquibato, the pioneers of our single-estate origins product line. Outside the city, we source cacao beans from the rich farms of Kiblawan.
