We love to take you to the "20/20 zone." Only in this magic belt 20° north and 20° south of the Equator grows cocoa. Some cocoa farmers have begun to specialize in the highest quality and also to produce chocolate itself. The top quality of these varieties accounts for only 3% of world cocoa production. The cultivation of fine cocoa is very difficult and not very productive because it is very susceptible to various enemies such as fungi, viruses and parasites.
Passionate chocolate manufacturers from around the world have begun to purchase the best cocoa beans directly from these small farmers from the "20/20 zone." This uncompromising chocolate manufacturers rely on the highest quality . No mass production , only the finest small series of connoisseurs for connoisseurs: "from Bean to Bar " !
Just as it is with exceptional wines, it is crucial how the grapes are cultivated , harvested and processed , the same for cocoa beans and chocolate applies . Soil, climate , care and attention of farmers and chocolate makers . All these factors have an impact on the final product.
The best chocolate often comes from small artisanal chocolate factories that have a direct access to the cocoa farmers . This direct trade also eliminates middlemen and ensures higher payments to cocoa farmers in some of the poorest countries in the world.
The search for these cocoa farmers / chocolate manufacturers is our passion. We want to provide you with unique chocolate. We love chocolate and we want to infect you with this love and climb to the peak of pleasure together.
Our main interest lies in exceptional chocolate . We want to take you - like Jules Verne - on a trip around the world.
