ECOCOA is an artisanal Belgian chocolate factory (chocolate manufacturer) which works from bean to bar (BEAN TO BAR) and whose desire is to respond to environmental concerns linked to chocolate and cocoa cultivation.
How? By creating a chocolate:
- Good for the planet
- Good for the producer
- Good for the consumer
At ECOCOA, we want to offer cocoa producers sustainable solutions so that they can improve their living conditions while preserving their forests. Our team of “experienced” foresters therefore worked alongside cocoa farmers from the village of KONGO in Cameroon to establish a culture of “FOREST COCOA” – 100% traceable and 100% Zero deforestation. Goodbye to intensive crops exposed to the sun and wind, our cocoa grows quietly in the shade, respecting its original environment. ECOCOA buys this cocoa at a higher price than the market. Paid at a fair price, producers can live decently while preserving their forests.
In this same logic of transparency, ethics and quality, the choice of BEAN TO BAR was obvious to us.
Bean to Bar means creating your chocolate directly from the cocoa beans to the bar using an artisanal processing method. This approach allows us to manage all of the production stages necessary for the manufacture of our chocolate. We can therefore fully develop its aromas and ensure the authenticity of the product we offer. The choice of Bean to Bar also offers us the possibility of setting up a short circuit.
In addition to giving us a total vision of the journey of our beans, this short circuit allows us to limit intermediaries and properly promote the essential work of cocoa producers.
