Kaoka

A STORY OF PEOPLE AND VALUES. A PIONEER IN ORGANIC FAIR TRADE. A COCOA SPECIALIST.

And behind it all there’s a small team who are passionate about offering high-quality, ethical chocolates.

Organic products committed against deforestation

Organic cocoa is a good thing, but at Kaoka, we have decided to go further: by integrating the protection of fragile ecosystems, the fight against deforestation, the cultivation of cocoa in agroforestry, reforestation, soil restoration…

Ethical and supportive

Since 1993, Kaoka has been working to ensure that growing cocoa is a genuine path to economic development for its partners growers: a better income thanks to a fair price and technical support to help them produce more while respecting the environment.

An inimitable taste

thanks to 30 years’ experience of working in partnership with growers. Cultivating the best varieties, improving the quality of harvests year after year and mastering the art of fermenting and drying cocoa to guarantee aromatic chocolates with an exceptional taste.

Fair for all

Because the “fair trade” dimension is part of an overall approach, Kaoka wants its quality organic chocolates to be accessible to as many people as possible.

You're going to say… how is it possible to guarantee organic, ethical, quality and fair chocolate for all?

Our answer is that we use the integrated programs’ model.

A model that we have spent several years building with our partner growers.

Take a look at it, step by step.
