Sourcing

Mayana sources chocolate from two amazing places:  República del Cacao and Valrona!

 República del Cacao Sourcing

At República del Cacao, our purpose is to generate a positive social, environmental and economic impact throughout our value chain. Therefore, the work we do is based on our 4 pillars of sustainability:

We respect the origin of each ingredient, cultivating strong relationships to offer traceable and sustainable chocolate.

We work for a better planet by focusing our processes on the regeneration of ecosystems.

We build alliances for the development and creation of value among our stakeholders, creating a positive impact on society.

Valrona Sourcing

However, ethical businesses have to be able to explain where their ingredients come from and how they were produced, as well as ensuring that they support producers’ economic development all around the world. This is the case with Valrhona, 100% of whose cocoa beans are traced from producers, so we know where the cocoa comes from and who harvested it, and that it was ethically produced.

Support Global Farmers

Of course, there are plenty of products that can’t be sourced locally, especially any tropical ones which only come from equatorial regions. Often grown in developing countries, it can be difficult to know exactly where these products come from and how they are grown. This is why it’s important for a company to know the origin of what goes into its recipes but also to buy in a way that supports producers’ economic development all around the world.
