In 2005, the Chiriboga brothers from Ecuador were visiting a chocolate shop in Paris and asked to taste their finest chocolate. When the chocolatier offered a sample of their most prized product, the brothers were amazed and delighted to learn that it was made with Ecuadorian cacao that was harvested just down the road from their home town. Upon learning that Ecuadorian cacao was considered the finest in the world, the Chiriboga brothers set out on a mission to locally produce the best and most authentic Latin American chocolate and Republica del Cacao was born. By committing to sustainable cacao production, locally sourcing all of their ingredients from Latin America, and partnering with cooperatives and independent farmers, Republica del Cacao is able to create chocolate that meets the highest standards while giving back to the land and communities that nurture their products. Grown in an ideal climate and carefully crafted with artisanal European chocolate-making techniques, Republica del Cacao chocolate offers the best of both worlds and delivers quality worthy of the world's finest chefs.
