Dominican Republic
Öko Caribe
We get our beans from the heart of this island nation's major cacao-producing province, Duarte, where there are 165 farmers who grow wonderfully balanced, fruity cacao for our forward-thinking partner, Öko Caribe, a direct-trade company, which supports the farmers with higher prices and through training, loans and other forms of community support.
Öko Caribe's farmers intercrop their cacao trees with avocado, plantain, corn, beans, yucca and cassava, which help give the cacao beans an unforgettable flavor that Tom adores. He loved their flavor notes of coconut, fruit and nutmeg.
