Cacao Beans from Hacienda San Jose (Ecuador)

Hacienda San Jose is an award-winning cacao plantation in Ecuador known for its very clean and high-quality cacao. Being the 4^th generation planting, harvesting, and drying cacao, this farmer family has developed a unique technique to keep the beans clean and pesticide-free.

The result is a cacao bean with an exquisite aroma, a distinguished nutty flavor, and a shell with a lighter color, due to the care of avoiding dirt and contaminants during the harvest and fermentation.

These beans have been fermented and sun-dried. They have NOT BEEN roasted, and are a raw agricultural product for further processing.
