Semi-finished and finished export products
Ecuadorian cacao is used in the international market to produce fine chocolates. The production process of cacao semi-finished products begins with the finest fermentation of the beans, after which all foreign matters that might affect their flavor are discarded. When beans are toasted, the characteristic aroma of Ecuadorian cocoa is all the more heightened.

The main cacao semi-finished products exported include: cacao liqueur, cacao butter, powder cacao and chocolates.

All cacao semi-finished and finished products are subjected to strict quality controls before, during and after processing. These controls include physical, chemical, organoleptic and microbiologic tests, which guarantee that the product is pollutant-free. This has allowed our products to enjoy the trust of our clients around the world through the years.

The main markets for cocoa semi-finished and finished products include the United States, Chile, Colombia, Holland, New Zealand, Peru, France, Belgium, Spain, Mexico, and Japan.
