100% Quinaco Peru
Our cacao comes from Cooperativa Agraria El Quinacho, a historic organisation of smallholder farmers located in Sivia, in Peru’s Ayacucho region, within the fertile valleys of the VRAEM.
Founded in 1970, the cooperative was created to help local farmers receive fairer prices for their cacao and coffee, reduce their dependence on intermediaries and improve the quality of life within their communities.
Today, El Quinacho brings together hundreds of producers who cultivate cacao in a biodiverse tropical environment. Through careful harvesting, fermentation and drying, the cooperative produces expressive cacao that reflects the distinctive character of its Peruvian origin.

KAICAO’s chocolate is crafted with health in mind, combining the natural power of cacao and dates. Cacao is rich in antioxidants, minerals like magnesium, and compounds that promote mood and heart health. By using minimally processed, high-quality cacao, we preserve these essential nutrients and their benefits. Paired with dates as our sole sweetener, our chocolate avoids refined sugars while adding fiber, vitamins, and minerals for sustained energy and a gentle sweetness. This blend of nutrient-dense cacao and dates creates a chocolate that not only delights the palate but also supports a balanced, health-conscious lifestyle.
At KAICAO, we take pride in sourcing only ethically traded cacao beans, ensuring that each step of our chocolate-making process supports quality and social responsibility. Our cacao is sourced from farmers who are fairly compensated for their hard work, fostering sustainable livelihoods and promoting positive community development. By prioritizing ethical trade, we help maintain traditional farming practices, protect the environment, and guarantee that our cacao is cultivated with care and respect. This commitment ensures that every bite of KAICAO chocolate not only tastes exceptional but also reflects our dedication to fairness and sustainability in the cacao industry.
At KAICAO, our bean-to-bar process is a testament to our dedication to quality and craftsmanship. We oversee every step, starting from selecting ethically sourced cacao beans to carefully roasting, grinding, and refining them in small batches. This meticulous approach allows us to preserve the unique flavors and natural properties of each bean, creating chocolate that is both rich in taste and true to its origins. By maintaining control over the entire process, we ensure that our products embody the perfect balance of flavor, texture, and purity, delivering an authentic chocolate experience that honors the bean and the farmers behind it.
