Making an environmental impact with the upcycled cacaofruit
A higher income for the cacaofruit farmers and their families
Previously, 70% of the cacaofruit was overlooked and only the seeds were sold to create indulgent chocolate. Thanks to the low waste revolution, this is no longer the case and upcycled ingredients are crafted from the entire cacaofruit. This means that the cacaofruit farmers now not only receive income for the seeds, but also for the pulp, and in the future the peel of the cacaofruit.
A great reward and recognition for all their efforts to cultivate beautiful and healthy cacaofruits.
This additional income helps to improve the lives of the 450+ families we currently work with. Altogether, that’s more than 1600 people that we are reaching and positively impacting.

Endorsing the local economy in Ecuador
Cacaofruit works closely with local farming communities in Ecuador to source the highest quality cacaofruits and transform their pulp and peel into valuable, upcycled ingredients. Together with the farmers, we harvest and collect the cacaofruits, transporting them to our production center, where they are carefully crafted into 100% pure, upcycled ingredients.
The quality of the cacaofruit ingredients is closely monitored along the value chain to guarantee the best flavors and nutrition before the cacaofruit ingredients are shipped to you, our customer.
Thanks to the local processing of cacaofruit and the robust, scalable supply chain we've established in Ecuador, Cacaofruit has created 20 new jobs for the local community this year, contributing to economic growth and sustainable development.
Taking pride in supplying high-quality products
Our efforts have created a ripple effect that brings lasting benefits not only to the farmers and local communities but also to the exceptional quality of our cacaofruit ingredients.
Through fostering greater discipline, enhancing harvesting practices, and ensuring rigorous hygiene standards, we’ve helped cacaofruit farmers take immense pride in the fruit they cultivate. They are now thrilled to share with us the extraordinary cacaofruit they nurture, knowing their hard work and dedication are reflected in the vibrant, high-quality produce they grow.
There’s truly nothing more fulfilling than tending to beautiful, healthy fruit and receiving the well-deserved rewards for their labor and care.
