Learn About Kablon Farms

The Philippines has a long history of cacao farming; the crop was introduced in the 1700s when a Spanish colonist brought seedlings over to the islands from Mexico. Since then, it’s common practice for Filipino communities to consume cacao as drinking chocolate, similar to Maya communities throughout Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala.

Kablon Farms is a 70 hectare bio-diversified, sustainable farm in South Cotabato, in Davao, Philippines. The farm is owned by the Pantua family and the crop production is managed by the eldest sibling, Ernesto Pantua Jr. (who prefers to be called Jun).

With an uncompromising emphasis on the highest quality of specialty cocoa beans, Kablon Farms is leading a change in the low-cost/low quality norm seen throughout the Philippines. Constantly improving and innovating, the farm runs cocoa farming and fermentation trials to perfect the unique flavour profiles of their cacao offerings.

Kablon is a Wallace Craft Chocolate single origin supplier, with their farm representing the Asia-Pacific region of cacao production.

Learn About ADIOESMAC

The Association of Integrated Development “OX EEK” Santa Maria Cahabón (ADIOESMAC), founded in 2004, cultivates and sells cacao, cardamom, cinnamon, and chili peppers.

Perched on a mountaintop overlooking the extensive jungled hills of the Cahabón region, the association processes cacao using cascading wooden fermentation boxes and a combination of greenhouse dryers, raised bamboo decks, and drying patios.

Adioesmac has been exporting fine cacao since the early 2000’s. Their cacao beans are distinctively large compared to nearly any other beans you will ever see, and have been whimsically referred to as ‘potato beans’ as a result (referring to their size, and thankfully not their flavour!).

The association plants more cacao trees every year, most of which are planted to reforest areas that had been cleared for the production of “milpa” (or corn) and bean production.

Adioesmac is a Wallace Craft Chocolate single origin supplier, with these beans representing the Central American region of cacao production.

This is no supermarket chocolate – imagine how a wild blueberry from the forest explodes with so much more flavour than its farmed kin. The cacao beans of this chocolate bar uniquely come from wild trees, rather than farms, growing in the Bolivian forest. We are incredibly privileged to be able to share this truly special and rare chocolate with you.

Learn About Itenez

Itenez Wild Harvest Cacao is from the region near Baures, Bolivia, close to the Reserva Forestal Itenez and the Río Blanco.

These beans are very rare, native Beniano cacao from the wild Itenez forests. They are harvested from wild cacao trees growing naturally in the Itenez forests, gathered and processed by local campesinos. According to Heirloom Cacao Preservation (HCP) genetic tests, the cacao is 97.3% Heirloom Beniano Boliviano with 2.7% Upper Amazon Forastero.

An initiative to support collectors of native, wild cacaos was started by Agricultural Economist and General Manager of Rainforest Exquisite Products S.A. (REPSA) Volker Lehmann, who was responsible for pioneering the wild cacao trade starting in 2004, increasing the quality of the harvest process and ensuring economic gains for all involved.

The Itenez wild harvested Bolivian cacao beans are very small beans with big flavour: Deep, rich, robust and floral. We are thrilled to be able to partner with the communities in Bolivia to offer this unique and special cacao.

Itenez is a Wallace Craft Chocolate single origin supplier, with these beans representing the South American region of cacao production.
