We're always hunting for the world's best cocoa.
In Madagascar, that means Criollo — the most flavorful variety, and the rarest. The flavor tells you why. Bright, fruity, a little tart, with a finish that lingers. Nothing like what you’ve ever tasted before in chocolate, and that's the whole point.
Photo 1: Those distinct white beans? That’s Criollo cocoa. It doesn’t just taste different, it looks different.
Photo 2: Unusually large pods. Colors that almost don't look real. Since our farmers know what they’re looking for, they can find the best quality Criollo.
Photo 3: Our quality evaluation goes all the way down to the raw bean. This is the cut test — how our farmers evaluate what's inside before it ever becomes chocolate. You can see the Criollo bean at the bottom left.
