Description
Cocoa beans are the dried, fermented seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree.
Rich in antioxidants, theobromine, and flavor compounds, they are essential to the global chocolate, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries.
Indonesia is one of the world's leading cocoa producers, offering robust, high-yield Forastero beans and select Trinitario varieties. Grown across Sulawesi, Sumatra, and Java, Indonesian cocoa is prized for its deep, classic cocoa flavor and reliable quality – ideal for both industrial chocolate and artisanal use.
We are proud to say that we can source Madagascar-origin cocoa beans as well. Sourced from the famed Sambirano Valley, Madagascar's cocoa beans are celebrated for their vibrant, fruity flavor and fine aroma.
Interesting Fact
