origins story

In 2019, Denise was invited to Peru to represent U.S. chocolate makers at the Cacao and Chocolate Salon in Lima. She learned about a cacao cooperative of indigenous women from the Awajún and Huambisa communities in the Amazon rainforest. Traditionally, men provide for their families by selling their hunt and fish catch for income and women take care of farming, cooking, and the children. Now, with the commercialization of cacao women are rapidly becoming empowered and the breadwinners for the family. Government-funded cacao projects are helping them succeed. Quality cacao has enabled new schools and health centers, better education, and higher income. Your purchase helps facilitate their progress and protects the
Amazon rainforest.

Meet Mamo Hernán

The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, or the "Heart of the World," is sacred to the Arhuaco people. Mamo Hernán stewards the community's cacao with reverence, adhering to principles that honor its spiritual significance. By preserving native varieties and avoiding monoculture, Arhuacos maintain a harmonious relationship with the Earth. For the Arhuacos, cacao is more than a crop – it's a connection to their ancestral territory, which they heal and protect through devoted care.
