Maya Mountain cacao grows in the Toledo and South Stann Creek districts, most by indigenous Q’eqchi’ and Mopan Maya farmer families. The majority of cacao cultivated by families in the Maya Mountain farmer network are Amelonado-dominant hybrids and other Upper Amazon Forastero hybrids. In 2019, Maya Mountain Cacao was awarded a Cacao of Excellence Award, which placed it within the Top 20 cacaos globally. The cooperative is focused on being a sustainable, long term and transparent partner to the farmers. The cacao is intercropped with hardwood, fruit trees, banana, coconut and mango.
Our chocolate bar Caribbean Blend 100% is made with beans from Maya Mountain (Belize) and La Gina (Dominican Republic).
