The Heart of Cacao's core mission

nothing added: we move away from adding ingredients that cloud the original flavor of cacao, and to preserve the health benefits.

bean-to bar method: we know where our cacao comes from, and we are involved in every step of the production process—from handling the raw bean all the way to the finished product at our chocolate studio in Amsterdam Osdorp.

care for farmers and nature: we partner with cacao brokers who have strong, direct relationships with farmers, cooperatives, and social enterprises. Together, they support local communities and look after the environment. By keeping the supply chain short and working closely together, we build long-term relationships. This also means farmers receive a price well above the global market rate.

quality, origin, and flavor: when selecting cacao, we focus on taste, aroma, variety, and origin. We always choose quality over price.

carefully tested cacao: our cacao is thoroughly tested for EU bio & import standards, including checks for pesticides, heavy metals, and microbiological safety.

a fair price for everyone: to us, fair pricing means that everyone in the chain—from farmer to retailer—can work sustainably.
