Chocolate Makers source their organic and Fairtrade cocoa from the Awajun community, situated along the Cenepa and Rio Santiago rivers in the Amazon rainforest. The Awajun are part of the NorAndino cooperative, a significant organisation with about 5000 members, including 1800 cocoa farmers. These members are spread across northern Peru, encompassing both coastal and Amazonian regions.
In collaboration with NorAndino, Chocolate Makers are involved in a special project aimed at enhancing cocoa processing. NorAndino operates a substantial cocoa factory in Peru, larger and more advanced than Chocolate Makers’ Amsterdam facility, equipped with a modern production line dedicated to producing high-quality organic and Fairtrade cocoa mass. This partnership not only ensures superior cocoa quality for Chocolate Makers but also empowers NorAndino, paving the way for them to produce their own chocolate in the future.
