Nestled in the heart of the cacao-rich Duarte province within the Dominican Republic, Öko-Caribe, which translates to "eco-Caribe" in German, shines as a standout cacao supplier. Proprietors Adriano de Jesus Rodriguez and Gualberto Acebey Torrejon bring over 50 years of collective cacao expertise to the table, honing their systems to consistently deliver over 500 tons of high-quality cacao annually.

Öko-Caribe places strong emphasis on fostering close relationships with its 127 producers. These bonds are nurtured through technical training in agronomic practices and organic certification. In addition to their professional connections, owners Adriano and Gualberto have cultivated personal relationships with all producers. They extend microfinance loans to cover cacao-related expenses and provide personal loans for family emergencies and other community needs.

What sets Öko-Caribe apart is its commitment to offering Uncommon Cacao a distinctive, meticulously hand-sorted quality. This dedication results in an exceptional workability of the beans. The Dominican Republic, globally recognized as a significant producer and trailblazer in organic cacao, acknowledges Öko-Caribe as a foremost leader within the nation, celebrated for its unwavering commitment to quality and the remarkable flavor it imparts.

In 2020, Öko-Caribe made substantial investments in expanding its fermentation boxes and solar drying decks. These enhancements were geared toward increasing their production capacity, ensuring that they can cater to the growing craft chocolate market while maintaining their reputation for supplying high-quality cacao, characterized by delightful flavor notes of vanilla, marzipan, and coconut cream.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
