Öko Caribe entretient des relations étroites avec ses 165 agriculteurs par le biais de formations techniques, de recherches agricoles et de certifications biologiques, ainsi que par l'octroi de prêts de microfinance. Ils sont devenus célèbres à la fois pour leurs pratiques commerciales et pour la haute qualité de leur cacao, comme en témoignent ici l'amertume équilibrée et les tannins relativement cassants malgré la teneur élevée (92 %). Un mélange de saveurs de noix de coco, de torréfaction, de fumée et de biscuits Graham préfigure une finale longue et riche (et une envie de s'mores qui s'ensuit !).

Mark Wallace spent years working overseas with cocoa farmers in the West African jungle – a rare experience that sets him apart in the world of chocolate making. Upon returning to Victoria, Canada, he transitioned his deep knowledge of cacao into crafting fine specialty chocolate, all while maintaining his passion for supporting farmers and their communities. All of Mark's cocoa is directly sourced and transparently traded, with most also being organic, heirloom, and chemical input-free. He conducts thorough background research and due diligence on the labour and environmental practices of each supplier. Additionally, his packaging is compostable and recyclable. Another thing I love about Mark's approach is his dedication to showcasing the best of select cocoa-growing areas, highlighting quality over quantity by focusing on one special, intentional bar that's expressive of each region. He takes pride in expressing the flavours of the cocoa origins and shares detailed, often personal, accounts of the farms and growers.

Duarte, one of the Dominican Republic's 32 provinces, is located in the northeast and named after the country's founder. Part of the broader region known as "El Cibao," it boasts the highest levels of education, industry, and economic prosperity in the country. El Cibao is also considered the cultural heartland of the Dominican Republic, being the birthplace of Merengue music (the original folk type, known as perico ripiao, is still performed by local musical groups). The region hosts long-standing and historic carnival celebrations and the local accent is a unique blend, reflecting influences from 16th- and 17th-century Portuguese colonists and 18th-century Canarian settlers. Within El Cibao lies the Cordillera Central mountain range, home to the Caribbean's highest peak, Pico Duarte. The region is also blessed with two of the country's largest rivers which play a vital role in irrigating its agriculture. Furthermore, Duarte plays a crucial role in mining, boasting the largest gold mine in the Americas and the second-largest globally. It is also home to Öko-Caribe, a renowned cocoa supplier that works with local farmers and is known for its exceptional quality, high standards, and admirable business practices.
