These cacao beans originate from the Tireo farm, neighboring our world-renowned farm Los Ancones. You may know it as one of the single estate chocolate bar with several Academy of Chocolate and International Chocolate Awards, and known as the 1st CRU plantation chocolate.

This farm is appreciated by a select group of chocolatiers by virtue of the particularly wide genetic collection planted here, which includes 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. This farm is the genetic base for the development of other exclusive plantations within the same Denomination of Origin. 

The non-profit Fuparoca foundation is nurtured from Tireo, for the benefit of small Dominican cacao producers.

This origin has represented the promise of Dominican cacao internationally with honor. The chocolate represents the special attributes that contribute to this origin’s distinct personality.
