Using the finest cacao, and a modern take on traditional European technique, Dick Taylor Chocolate is able to fully realize the potential of the beans they source. All of their chocolate is carefully crafted from the bean in their small factory in Northern California.
One special region in the Mekong delta is Tiên Giang. Covering approximately 2,000 hectares it is comprised of mainly small holder farms of less than one hectare each. Tiên Giang is in the northern portion of the Mekong delta from the Cho Gao district. About 15 years ago chocolate makers began to take a fresh interest in the cacao from the region. The Vietnam based company Marou Chocolate led the charge. They began to work with the farmers throughout the region looking for a reliable source of high quality cacao. Marou now works directly with these farmer associations to insure access to the fine cacao market but also provide excellent technical support as well as financial assistance as needed. Because Marou has worked to increase the quality of the cacao, they insure that the farmers are paid well above “fair-trade” premium prices for their beans.
Dick Taylor Chocolate pays $ 6.607,25 per metric ton of Vietnam, Tiên Giang cacao.
