Hoja Verde translates from Spanish as “green leaf”.  This is significant in two very unique ways: First, these cacao beans are produced in small shaded plantations, thriving in the shadows of the rainforest’s green leaves at farms implementing the conservation of natural resources standards.  Second, the origin of the company stems from the Ecuadorian rose business (ie the green leaves of a rose). We know and understand the perish-ability of fine, fresh & delicate products. Furthermore, our company is also committed to the environment and the cacao farmers in Ecuador. We are proud to be certified to the highest standards via the Fair Trade Certified™ system and protect our land via the strict guidelines of the  Rainforest Alliance certification.

At Hoja Verde Dark Chocolate, we produce only the highest quality dark chocolate with 100% certified Fino Arriba cacao beans.  Hoja Verde chocolates are nurtured and overseen from bean to bar.  We are proud to be the strategic partner of this group.  The quality of nature’s raw ingredient, united with the know-how and experience of Hoja Verde Cia. Ltd., based in Cayambe, Ecuador, makes for one of the world’s finest dark chocolates.  Both organizations are dedicated to the manufacturing and marketing of this couture dark chocolate and more importantly, committed to nature’s limited resources.
