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 an interesting mix of native cacao from the northern coastal desert region of Piura. Typically, cacao is native to the rainforest, but this cacao has adapted to the dry, arid environment at the lowest point of the Andes where the Amazon meets the desert coast. Knowing that a drier climate imparts nice flavors in cacao and fewer tannins, Denise wanted to make a chocolate out of this variety for you to taste.

awards

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.
