Discover our sustainable program with Cacao - Trace

Cacao-Trace is a chocolate traceability program that aims for the finest chocolate and creates added value for all parties involved. Concept Chocolate is part of this exceptional program to offer you the very best in artisanal chocolate.

Ethical production

Cacao-trace is also a quality seal around the world. For every kilo of chocolate purchased, part of the revenue is paid to farmers in addition to what they usually earn. This allows farmers to make better chocolate because it gives them more time and ensures that the plants are taken care of. 

Cacao-Trace offers cocoa producers an additional incentive: a bonus linked to the quality of their cocoa beans. The more a producer improves the quality of their beans, the more money they earn and the more motivated they are to continue producing better quality. They will then be able to invest in their plantation, their home, and their family.

Fermentation under the microscope

Only properly fermented cocoa beans can produce chocolate with a delicious taste. Just as the quality of wine depends on the winemaking of the grapes, the better the beans are fermented, the tastier the chocolate they produce. That is why Cacao-Trace pays great attention to fermentation. Post-harvest centers are built near farms, where fermentation experts supervise, monitor and improve the fermentation process and check the quality of the cocoa beans. All of this ultimately ensures chocolate with a consistently exceptional flavor.
