At CocoAndré, our chocolate is not only delicious, but also comes from a place with a deep chocolate history and a focus on sustainability. We get our criollo cacao from Is Soconusco, Chiapas, which is known for its historical sites and beautiful nature. We have partnered with a woman-owned farm to support sustainable farming practices and preserve the authentic flavor of the cocoa. To keep our chocolate healthy, we use minimal processing techniques like lower temperature roasting and skip stages like conching and tempering. This results in an untempered block of chocolate that keeps the natural goodness of the cocoa. When you enjoy our chocolate, you're not only treating yourself to a great taste, but also supporting a rich heritage and sustainable practices. Our chocolate is made with just cacao and sugar.
