Cocoa growing in Venezuela
Venezuelan cocoa is a centuries-old tradition with a rich history. Today, it is thriving despite the challenges posed by the country's current political situation.
Nestled between Venezuela's majestic mountains and lush valleys, this valuable agricultural heritage dates back centuries, when indigenous peoples were already cultivating the precious plant. Despite the political and economic turbulence facing Venezuela, local cocoa farmers are keeping this age-old tradition alive.
Venezuelan cocoa, with its bitter notes of raisin, chestnut, and licorice and roasted nuances, remains a symbol of resilience and national pride.
High-quality cocoa
Cacao San José is a family business that has been growing cocoa in Venezuela since 1830. The company's goal is to promote economic prosperity and long-term business relationships, contributing to social well-being and sustainable development. They do this, for example, by helping to create educational programs for children from communities in the surrounding areas and by promoting entrepreneurship.
For Cacao San José, the quality of their cocoa goes hand in hand with their aim of having a positive social impact and with their work on the family plantation to preserve the genetic variety of cocoa. It is this commitment that led us to build a long-term partnership with them in 2016. Our desire to forge a lasting relationship is stronger than ever, despite the political and economic crisis facing Venezuela today.
