For our Demeter certified bars, we work with Brazilian cacao farmers in the paradisiacal Bahia region on Brazil's east coast. Bahia is an area where nature and the rain forests are still in a beautiful original state. With trees that are sometimes hundreds of years old and a biodiversity such as we still see in few places in the world.

On our Brazilian bars it says Demeter. A logo that is not yet familiar to everyone, so we will explain it briefly. Demeter products are organic anyway, but Demeter certifies biodynamic farms and products. Biodynamic goes one step further than organic. It is a holistic way of farming in which ecosystems are not disrupted and we do not just take and extract from the soil, but feed the soil back with manure and other natural substances so that the soil remains healthy for many years to come.

The Demeter farmers in the region are affiliated with the Cabruca coorperation. Cabruca is also the name of the local cultivation system in which there is no need to clear the land, because the cocoa trees grow well in the shade of other native trees in the Atlantic ecosystem and coexist with a wide variety of other plant and animal species . This method, which has been practiced in the region for more than 200 years, is a model that has inspired other agroforestry systems around the world.

At Chocolatemakers, we work directly with one of the Cabruca farms, the Fazenda Bom Jesus. Founded in 1997 by a Swiss man and his Brazilian wife who were already living in the region at the time. The farm now employs 15 people and also grows palm, guarana, acai and vanilla, among other crops.

The holistic approach and focus on the health of the soil and ecosystem means that the cocoa grows under perfect conditions. Something that is absolutely reflected in the taste of the chocolate later.
