We procure raw materials of the highest quality which are complex in taste and full of flavour. Transparency, fair conditions and working in harmony with nature are very important to us.

In October, part of our purchasing team travelled to Grenada – an island known not only for its aromatic cacao, but also for its impressive variety of spices. The aim of the trip was to further strengthen our long-standing partnerships, get to know new people and perspectives, and gain a first-hand understanding of the current challenges and opportunities at origin.

Our most recent journey to the source took us to Ghana and São Tomé – two places that show us time and again what lies behind every single cocoa bean: people, commitment and a deep understanding of quality and sustainability.
