Raw food cocoa from the Mountains of the Moon™, certified organic and fair trade
During fermentation and drying of our cocoa we keep temperatures in range of 40 – 45 C. Temperatures below this range lead to incomplete fermentation; above they destroy vital proteins and enzymes that shape the flavour of cocoa and determine its nutritive value. Very critical is a gentle drying phase. It helps to reduce acidity and to allow ample time for oxidization and the development of an intensive chocolate aroma. Read more

How will the next vanilla and cocoa season from the Mountains of the Moon™ look like?
Soon the cocoa harvest will begin in earnest and the vanilla harvesting will begin late November. As it looks like, the cooperation with the farmers and the training provided begins to bear fruits and both certified organic and fair trade vanilla and cocoa production are on the rise and the quality is getting better by the year!
