ABOUT THE REGION
These cacao beans originate from the Tireo farm, neighboring our world-renowned farm Los Ancones. This farm is appreciated by a select group of chocolatiers by virtue of the particularly wide genetic collection planted here, which included an
extraordinary collection of elite varieties from all over the country. Tireo is part of the Los Bejucos Denomination of Origin, an official denomination established since 2012.
“Known as the 1st CRU plantation chocolate.”
This farm is the genetic base for the development of other exclusive plantation within the same Denomination of Origin. The non-profit Fuparoca foundation is nurtured from Tireo, for the benefit of small Dominican cacao producers. With
several Academy of Chocolate and International Chocolate Awards, the chocolate represents the special attributes that contribute to this origin’s distinct personality.
