Product: 95% Criollo Cocoa
Produced by Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Pangoa

95% Criollo Cocoa. Over 100 CAC member farmers participate in CAC Pangoa’s organic cacao program. Eighty percent of these farmers produce certified organic cacao, and twenty percent are in transition to meeting standards for certified organic production. CAC Pangoa technicians visit cacao farms periodically to inspect crops and assist farmers in pest and other threat prevention. Once cacao crops are harvested and transported to the cooperative, they undergo quality inspection. We offer producers the option to send unfermented recently harvested cacao to the cooperative where it is fermented by cooperative workers. This helps us to ensure uniform quality of fermented cacao and reduces the individual farmer’s workload.
