République Dominicaine 80%, with its tangy notes of ripe fruit and more subtle cocoa notes, lets us in on the secrets of the island of Santo Domingo.

Since 2005, we have been able to select the finest cocoa beans on the island by putting our expertise to good use and working

closely with our Dominican producers. Together, we have developed fermentation and drying methods used nowhere else, creating an excellent cocoa that brings out all the distinctive character of cocoa beans grown in the Dominican Republic.

Valrhona works with Conacado and COOPROAGRO, two cooperatives committed to organic farming and fair trade. They use agroforestry to grow cocoa varieties specific to the Dominican terroir. Since 2016, Valrhona has been funding Cacao Forest, a pioneering project bringing together farmers, businesses, researchers, consumers and NGOs to create innovative farming models that will increase cocoa quality, cocoa trees’ productivity and producers’ quality of life, while protecting the environment.
