We believe cacao and chocolate should be traceable, like coffee or wine, so we indicate on our product labels which farm the cacao came from. We choose cacao grown on sustainable family farms like ours in El Salvador, where JuanRa is from, and also select cacao grown on other Earth-friendly small farms throughout Central America, where we built meaningful relationships with other growers while working on projects across the region. After the cacao is harvested, fermented, and dried, we transform it into healthful crunchy cacao nibs, rich ceremonial Holistic cacao, and artisanal bean-to-bar chocolate, at our small craft chocolate manufactory in Sardinia, Italy, where Elisa is from. Our products are always minimally-processed, as well as dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and free of other additives, to help you be free to live a healthy lifestyle!
