Chocolate Tree

Since 2005, Chocolate Tree has been crafting award-winning organic chocolate with a mission to protect biodiversity and uplift farming communities. From their micro-factory in East Lothian, Scotland, founders Alastair and Friederike Gower work with agro-forested cacao sourced from smallholder farms across South and Central America. Their range spans elegant single-estate origin bars to playful, flavor-packed inclusions—all made with simple, sustainably sourced ingredients. Distinctive tessellation designs on their biodegradable packaging reflect the origins of the cacao itself, capturing the brand’s down-to-earth yet artisanal spirit.

Cacao Region

Toledo, Belize

Toledo is the southernmost district of Belize, home to some of the country’s most pristine rainforests, extensive cave networks, coastal lowland plains, and small offshore islands. Punta Gorda, the district capital, hosts a 3-day chocolate festival each May, which has helped build tourist interest in the region. Toledo is home to aroun 30,000 people from a wide range of cultures, including Creole, Mopan & Q'eqchi Maya, the Garifuna, Mennonites, and Mestizos; all of them rely primarily upon agriculture or fishing. Primary crops grown include beans, corn, coffee, yams, and plantains.

Cacao Estate

Maya Mountain Cacao

Maya Mountain is arguably one of the most established cacao origins in the world, having been one of the first to very clearly establish its own brand. Started in 2010, MMC put Belizian cacao on the map, as a pioneer in the centralized fermentery social enterprise model. What that boils down to is 350+ farming families in southern Belize selling their wet cacao beans to the MMC team at a transparent premium. Most of these families are Q’eqchi’ and Mopan Maya and have been producing cacao for generations. In 2014, the origin was even awarded an Heirloom Cacao Preservation (HCP) designation, and its versatile and rich flavors attest to the deservedness of that honor. All Maya Mountain Cacao beans are certified organic.
