Maker

Cacaoteca

Cacaoteca is a tree-to-bar chocolate maker based in Miches, Dominican Republic. Founded in 2015, the company sources cacao locally, just a few hours from their production facility. They work directly with farmers on drying and quality, and pay fair prices for high-quality beans. Their bars showcase the flavor of Dominican cacao, which is recognized internationally as some of the finest available. A strong choice for shoppers interested in made-at-origin craft chocolate.

Cacao Region

Duarte, Dominican Republic

Duarte is a northern province of the Dominican Republic, named after Juan Pablo Duarte, the founder of the country. The province is located in the eastern portion of the Cibao Valley, and finds its economic base in both commercial industry & processing, and agriculture. Duarte grows over two-thirds of the Dominican Republic’s exported cacao, as well as ~60% of the rice consumed within the country; other crops include coffee, tobacco, and bananas.

Cacao Estate

APROCACI

APROCACI, or the Asociación de Productores de Cacao del Cibao, is an association of cacao producers in the northern Dominican Republic. The association was founded in 1997, and now works with hundreds of cacao farmers in the provinces of Salcedo and Duarte. Each farmer is in charge of processing and transporting their own cacao, with a small post-harvest processing facility made available by the association to farmers not-yet equipped to do it on their own land. Most of APROCACI’s farmers use organic farming methods, with 900+ tons of organic-certified cacao produced by the association each year.
