Peru belongs to the most forested countries in the world, over half of Peru is covered in
trees – and a large part of it is Amazonian tropical forest. No wonder Peru is in the top 10
of most biodiverse countries in the world.
Unfortunately, deforestation and forest degradation are serious issues in Peru, caused by
monoculture farming, mining, road construction and illegal logging.
Because cacao grows in agroforestry, its cultivation gives farmers the opportunity to
earn an income, while protecting forests and conserving biodiversity. Peru Ucayali cacao
is organically produced and certified; no pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used.
Peru Ucayali cacao is from Trinitario varieties. Its flavour profile is characterized by a
balanced chocolaty body, low in acidity, with remarkable sweet notes of caramel and
nuts and hints of fruity flavours.
After manual picking the farmers bring the wet cacao beans to a central fermentation
unit.

The Comoros are made up of 4 islands Mayotte and three islands independent of France forming the Union of the Comoros (Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli). Grande Comore is a volcanic island.
The island suffers from a severe lack of water, the volcanic rocks do not retain water and there is little source. The main economic resource is the cultivation of vanilla. Vanilla, introduced in the Comoros before the 1930s, is cultivated on the four islands in a traditional way.
This capricious orchid offers a beautiful cluster flower. Fertilization is carried out manually by women at dawn. A good worker “marries” 1000 to 1500 vanilla flowers per day. During the harvesting time, one picks pod by pod, to a precise degree just before “technical maturation”.
