About

Full story

At Bonita Cacao we work with a clear mission: to preserve, honor and share the ancestral criollo cacao of the Dominican Republic, cultivated in harmony with the land and elaborated with respect for traditional knowledge.

Our cocoa is born in the oldest forests of the country, where centuries-old trees continue to bear fruit thanks to the care of local communities, especially women who have inherited the wisdom of cocoa for generations.
 

🌀 Cocoa with soul
We use only criollo and old varieties, recognized for their fine and complex flavor. This cocoa offers floral, fruity and spicy notes, with a smoothness that distinguishes it from other types of cocoa. Its aromatic profile is the result of its genetic purity and the biodiverse environment in which it grows.

​

🔥 Fermented with precision, dried with patience.
We ferment our cocoa in wooden boxes built by local hands, respecting the natural rhythm of the bean. We then dry it slowly in the sun on raised beds, to preserve all its nutrients, aromas and properties. Each step is carried out at origin, which guarantees a fresh, whole and vibrant cocoa.

​

🌿 Our mission
At Bonita Cacao we believe that cacao is more than a product: it is a living legacy. Our mission is to protect ancient varieties, regenerate the forests where they are born and empower the communities that grow them. By choosing our cocoa, you are supporting a sustainable, artisanal production model that is deeply connected to nature and ancestry.
