About Davap, South Philippines
Fine flavor cacao at the foot of Mount Apo.
The farms supplying Auro Luna cacao are close to Mount Apo National Park, which is home to a very diverse flora and fauna, including birds and orchids that are endemic to the region. Auro focusses on conservation and landscape restoration initiatives to maintain and increase the rich biodiversity of Davao region. Farmers harvest only fully ripe pods and extract the wet beans on the farm. They are collected the same day and transported to Auro’s central fermentation facility. The beans are fermented in wooden three layer cascading boxes that allow drainage of pulp and passage of air. It is a natural and slow process.
About Finca Parras Lempa
Honorable mentions as Cacao of Excellence.
Benedicto Morataya's cocoa is produced on his farm, Finca Parras Lempa, in El Salvador. Although Benedicto's cocoa trees were only introduced to the farm in 2010, his team has a very good knowledge of the climatic conditions, soil type and selective harvesting practices. The result is exceptional cocoa. In the selection of batches to participate in the Cacao of Excellence in 2023, Parras Lempa received 3 honorable mentions.
About Kekeli fine cacao
The slopes of Mount Agou are home to smallholder cacao farmers.
With an area of only 57,000 km2 wedged between Ghana and Benin, Togo is one of the smallest countries in Africa. It is a 500 km strip of land stretched along its main river Mono. Though small in size, Togo has several distinct climatic zones, from lagoons and palmfringed beaches along the Atlantic coastline in the south and forested hills in the centre to savannah plains in the north. Kekeli cacao grows in the vicinity of mount Agou in the south of Plateaux region. With 986 meters it is Togo’s highest mountain. This centrally fermented cacao is a unique find in Togo. The smallholder farmers intercrop cacao with mango, banana, coffee and other crops under the canopy of the natural forest. Agroforestry systems like this protect the natural forests and preserve biodiversity. The farmers do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The thick humus layer formed by acacia, teak and many other trees in the forest gives a specific flavour to the cacao, adding to the exclusive ‘terroir’ of Kekeli cacao.
