Supply chain
Our chocolate arrives from far away. In the 70s, we set sail for the lands where cocoa originates from, to meet the local people, touch the pods, and taste the fruit for ourselves. Since then, we have never stopped cultivating relationships and land together, to the point of turning this passion into a real philosophy: “produce quality chocolate through the supervision of the entire supply chain, from the plantation to the finished product. We selected the best plantations, increased the quality of their harvests, in order to obtain an excellent product; controlled and traceable”.

OF ORIGIN
We purchase chocolate in 20 countries, mostly from Central America and Africa. It is here that we have created a series of solid and valuable partnerships, where we have committed ourselves financially and technologically to improve working methods, cocoa quality, as well as the wealth and socio- economic conditions of the local communities. Important partnerships, based on an explicit ethical code and respect, nurturing relationships with all links in the supply chain, sustainability, equity and transparency: these are the values that guide each phase of our everyday activities.
