Mashpi unroasted 80% dark chocolate, Ecuador

“Our new 80% UNROASTED bar is exceptionally smooth and conserves the aromas of the forest vividly. A perfect creation from our master chocolatier Agus, this bar comes to you as directly from the tree as possible. Unroasted, the cacao in this bar is able to express what analog farming is all about, as it carries the aromas of the surrounding species. Close your eyes and let it melt, you can almost hear the toucans singing!”

Mashpi’s Story:

Mashpi is the name of a river, a valley and the community we are part of. We are a family project with the participation of neighbors in the community.

More than a decade ago we started a forest conservation and restoration project. In the search to generate a healthy and sustainable environment in the Chocó bioregion, we decided to create regenerative systems of organic agriculture and similar forestry, rescuing the national fine aroma cocoa, one of the best cocoa in the world.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

We carry out our daily activities following the rhythms of nature. We are studying and trying to restore the natural cycles of soil, water and environment. We believe that Permaculture provides tools that allow us to transform society towards a more just way of living among humans and other beings that inhabit this planet.”
