About O'Payo Profundo Cocoa

The O'Payo cocoa is cultivated in the Waslala municipality, nestled within the Bosawas Natural Reserve in Nicaragua's northern mountains. This region is renowned for its fertile lands and diverse ecosystems, providing ideal conditions for growing fine cocoa. The term "Profundo" describes a long fermentation and slow drying process, producing cocoa flavors of ripe fruit and nuts with floral and spicy notes.

We source this exceptional cocoa through Ingemann Fine Cocoa, a key partner in Nicaragua’s sustainable cocoa industry. Ingemann connects over 1,000 cocoa producers to global markets, directly supporting more than 5,000 workers and their families.

Through collaborative efforts, over 1,000,000 cocoa trees have been planted, contributing significantly to Nicaragua’s reforestation initiatives.

The dedication of these farmers to traditional cultivation and processing methods ensures a cocoa bean that is both flavorful and sustainable. Their commitment to quality and environmental stewardship contributes to the rich and complex flavor profile of our O’Payo Profundo artisan chocolate.

Indulge in the craftsmanship and rich flavors of this artisan dark chocolate—a true testament to quality, sustainability, and the artistry of fine chocolate-making.
