Made at origin in the heart of the cacao rich Duarte province in the Dominican Republic, Öko-Caribe (“Eco-Caribbean” in German) is a gem amongst cacao suppliers. With more than 50 years of combined experience in cacao, owners Adriano de Jesus Rodriguez and Gualberto Acebey Torrejon have fine-tuned their systems to ensure consistent, superior quality in their 500+ tons of annual cocoa bean production. Öko Caribe maintains close relationships with its 165 farmers through technical training, in agronomic practices and organic certification. In addition, owners Adriano and Gualberto have personal relationships with all farmers, offering microfinance loans for cacao-related expenses, as well as personal loans for family emergencies or other community needs. The loyalty between Öko Caribe and the farmers they work with is not only evidenced in daily interactions between staff, management and farmers, but also in their best-in-class, award winning final product.

Switching up to fine flavoured cocoa power will have a really dramatic effect on your baking! It’s high-quality and has distinctively rich favour notes of honey, nutmeg and coconut.
