Chocolate Conspiracy’s Story

 “Currently, we source our cacao beans from the Agro-Industrial Cooperative Atalaya. 

The association is formed by 300 members who live in the margins of the rivers that make up the Ucayali region of Peru, 60% of the members are native to the Achaninka tribes and the rest are migrant settlers who plant many varieties of fruit.

The members of the co-op are involved with all the aspects the growing and harvesting of the cacao, in doing so we end up with a varietal blend of Forastero, Trinitario, and Criollo.

The cacao beans are certified organic, certified fair trade, and certified kosher.  The cacao is also non-GMO, non-hybridized, and cultivated from a combination of old growth cacao trees and new trees that have been planted to help maintain not only the forests but the livelihoods of the farmers and harvesters.”
