Cocoa & Chocolate

How is organic cocoa grown?

Cocoa beans are actually the seeds of the cocoa pod or fruit and grow on a small tree. The organic cocoa used in Cocoa Camino products is grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Similar to organic coffee, it is grown in the shade of other trees, often fruit trees. The shade-grown method is important because it helps maintain a sustainable eco-system and the soil remains rich. Learn more about shade grown agriculture.
