Our journey begins in Ecuador, where expert farmers hand-harvest ripe cocoa pods. We exclusively use Fino de Aroma beans — a rare and exquisite variety known for its fine flavor and floral notes.

The beans, still encased in their fruity pulp, are naturally fermented in wooden boxes for several days. This crucial step develops the beans’ complex flavor. Afterwards, they’re sun-dried to lock in those rich, aromatic profiles.

Once dried, the beans are carefully sorted to remove impurities. Only the finest beans — free from defects — move forward. They’re then cleaned thoroughly to ensure purity and consistency.

Every batch is rigorously tested for flavor, aroma, and quality. Our quality control team ensures that only beans meeting our high standards are used in production.

The selected beans are gently roasted to deepen their flavor and bring out chocolate’s signature notes. Temperature and time are precisely controlled to preserve the Fino de Aroma’s unique character.

After roasting, the beans are cracked and the outer husks are removed. What remains is the pure, flavorful cocoa nib — the essence of chocolate.

The nibs are ground into a rich, thick paste called cocoa liquor, where the cocoa butter and solids naturally emerge.

The cocoa liquor is blended with sugar, and depending on the recipe, cocoa butter or milk powder. Each ingredient is chosen with care to balance flavor and texture.

The mixture is refined to an ultra-smooth texture, then conched — a slow mixing process that can last for hours — to develop the flavor, reduce bitterness, and create that melt-in-your-mouth feel.

The chocolate is slowly cooled and reheated in a controlled process to align the cocoa butter crystals. This gives our bars their glossy finish, perfect snap, and long shelf life.

The tempered chocolate is poured into custom molds, where it cools into beautifully shaped bars. Or we coat our products using an enrober.

Before the chocolate sets, we add curated inclusions like roasted nuts, dried fruit, or sea salt — enhancing both the flavor and visual appeal of each bar.
