About us 3
Quality<br />
Flavors,<br />
coloring agents and<br />
preservatives<br />
We do not use any kind of flavor, coloring<br />
agent or preservative.<br />
We exclusively process high-quality<br />
essential oils, organic spices and pure<br />
organic fruit or vegetable powders<br />
without further additives.<br />
All our chocolates, including those for our Bio-<br />
Dragées Suchti, are produced in our fac<strong>to</strong>ry in<br />
Bonn-Oberkassel from bean-<strong>to</strong>-bar.<br />
As far as possible, we use organic cocoa varieties<br />
for our pure organic chocolates.<br />
Our flavored chocolates are produced almost<br />
without exception <strong>to</strong> 100% with organic raw<br />
ingredients.<br />
Organic cocoa is not cultivated in all countries of<br />
origin where you find high quality cocoa beans.<br />
This is particularly true for cocoa beans from<br />
Venezuela, but also for some small Caribbean<br />
Islands, such as Saint Lucia or Jamaica.<br />
This does not necessarily mean that these beans<br />
are inferior. The conventional cocoa beans<br />
purchased and processed by us correspond <strong>to</strong><br />
the same quality standards as our organic cocoa<br />
beans, but are not certified.<br />
That is why, besides our extensive range of<br />
organic products, we also offer chocolates<br />
made with conventional cocoa beans of special<br />
qualities.<br />
Vegan<br />
All our dark chocolates are vegan. In<br />
addition, we also offer an assortment of<br />
vegan light and white chocolates.<br />
In our production facility, we also process<br />
milk powder. After each production, our<br />
machines are carefully cleaned. However, it<br />
is not possible <strong>to</strong> guarantee that there are<br />
no traces of milk in our vegan chocolates.<br />
Gluten<br />
All cereal products processed by us in our<br />
production facility are gluten-free, which<br />
prevents the contamination of our noncereal<br />
products with gluten. Therefore,<br />
we can guarantee without limitation that<br />
all our products are gluten-free.<br />

Our shop and our production facility<br />
are located in 53227 Bonn (Oberkassel),<br />
Königswinterer Straße 624. There you can<br />
watch us during the production of all our<br />
specialties; But it also houses a small café<br />
with 12 seats.<br />
The basis for the delicious coffee - the beans - is<br />
provided by a small coffee roaster from Vienna,<br />
Caffè a Casa, where the beans are roasted<br />
according <strong>to</strong> our specifications. The coffee is<br />
brewed with a handmade portafilter coffee<br />
machine from La Marzocco in Florence/Italy.<br />
To round off the visit <strong>to</strong> our café, fresh cakes<br />
are prepared for our cus<strong>to</strong>mers daily. For<br />
our cakes we also do not use convenience<br />
products, or Flavors. In the winter season we<br />
produce, also gluten-free, a delicious, famous<br />
German speciality, Baumkuchen.<br />
Exclusive and only in our own shop we offer<br />
our cus<strong>to</strong>mers a selection of 18-20 different<br />

<strong>Bean</strong>-<strong>to</strong>-<strong>Bar</strong><br />
We aim <strong>to</strong> achieve the best possible quality. This<br />
is only possible by buying and processing the best<br />
raw materials. Another step is that we use as few<br />
as possible convenience products. It is only logical<br />
that we produce all our chocolates from bean <strong>to</strong><br />
bar. We roast, grind and conche all our chocolates<br />
ourselves.<br />
The production of own chocolate is extremely complex,<br />
difficult and expensive, but this is rewarded by<br />
an incomparable taste experience.<br />
Contrary <strong>to</strong> the general assumption, there are only<br />
6<br />
<strong>Bean</strong>-<strong>to</strong>-<strong>Bar</strong><br />
a few chocolatiers and even fewer confectioners/<br />
pâtissiers who produce chocolate from bean <strong>to</strong> bar<br />
themselves.<br />
Without taking in<strong>to</strong> account about half a dozen<br />
industrial manufacturers, there are no ten bean<strong>to</strong>-bar<br />
chocolatiers in Germany and only three<br />
or four confectioners/pâtissiers who make filled<br />
chocolates with their own bean-<strong>to</strong>-bar chocolate.<br />
All others buy chocolate as convenience products;<br />
sometimes in good, rarely in very good, but very<br />
often in simple quality.

Belize<br />
TCGA-COOPERATIVE | TRINITARIO<br />
Belize is a country on the eastern coast of Central America and<br />
is located in the southeast of the Yucatán Peninsula. Belize is<br />
bordered on the north <strong>to</strong> Mexico and on the south and west by<br />
Guatemala.<br />
The Maya civilisation spread across what is now Belize around<br />
1500 BC and cultivated cocoa in this area and in parts of<br />
Honduras and El Salvador.<br />
Even <strong>to</strong>day, descendants of the ances<strong>to</strong>rs of cocoa culture in<br />
Belize live and cultivate the knowledge about cocoa that has<br />
been passed down over centuries.<br />
The organic cocoa from Belize is one of the very few and<br />
rare heirloom cocoa varieties. A true heirloom of the cocoa<br />
cultivated in Belize centuries ago.<br />
The cooperative TCGA (Toledo Cacao Growers Association)<br />
was founded in 1984. Since 1993 the TCGA cocoa has been<br />
certified organic and fairtrade. Meanwhile, the cooperative<br />
includes more than 1,100 and 95% native Mayan farmers.<br />

Brazil<br />
PLANTATION FAZENDA CAMBOA | TRINITARIO<br />
Brazil is the largest and most populous country in South<br />
America. It has ten neighbors and, with the exception of<br />
Ecuador and Chile, borders all South American states.<br />
The Carvalho family has been active in cocoa cultivation since<br />
1942. The plantation Fazenda Camboa has been owned by the<br />
brothers Arthur and Eduardo Carvalho since 1982 and is by now<br />
the largest organic plantation in Brazil with a size of 500 ha.<br />
The farm workers receive above average wages for the region<br />
and the production equity incentives provide the workers with<br />
additional compensation tied <strong>to</strong> their partial ownership in the<br />
annual production of the farm.<br />
Due <strong>to</strong> higher wages and a pesticide-free environment, the<br />
farm maintains a very high worker-retention rate. Many of the<br />
farm workers live in the neighboring village, which the farm<br />
supports by financing the local primary school along with the<br />
local school bus system.<br />

Congo<br />
MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON | FORASTERO & TRINITARIO<br />
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a country located<br />
in Central Africa and borders on Uganda, among other states.<br />
On the border between the two countries lies the Rwenzori<br />
Mountains, also called Mountains of the Moon. The mountains<br />
are also part of the Virunga National Park.<br />
There is a mild and unique climate, so that this region produces<br />
some of the finest fruits, coffee beans, vanilla and cocoa beans.<br />
The German-born Clemens Fehr, who has been living in Uganda<br />
since 1999, started a project <strong>to</strong>gether with his wife Corinne <strong>to</strong><br />
support the farmers living in extreme poverty. The farmers<br />
formed a cohesive community and successfully received the<br />
Organic and Fairtrade certification of, among others, coffee,<br />
vanilla and cocoa. Today, the community brings <strong>to</strong>gether<br />
almost 1,000 families and the quality and quantity of cocoa has<br />
been significantly increased.<br />

Haiti<br />
PISA FARMERS | TRINITARIO & CRIOLLO<br />
Haiti is an island country located on the island of Hispaniola<br />
in the Great Antilles. Haiti is located in the western part of the<br />
island and the neighboring Dominican Republic in the eastern<br />
part.<br />
More than a century ago, the Dufort family began their activities<br />
in the coffee business. The family was one of the largest coffee<br />
exporters in Haiti and in 1970 they decided <strong>to</strong> roast their own<br />
coffee and <strong>to</strong>day operates Haiti’s largest coffee roasting house.<br />
The brand REBO is <strong>to</strong>day Haiti‘s largest coffee-making brand.<br />
Over the years, they have worked, learned, and grown,<br />
<strong>to</strong>gether with farmers and cooperatives. The commitment <strong>to</strong><br />
quality helped raise awareness for the value behind the fruits<br />
With the same philosophy, the Dufort family started a new<br />
operation with cocoa farmers in 2014 dedicated <strong>to</strong> help the<br />
cocoa growers <strong>to</strong> understand the value of their products and<br />
increase the appraisal level of the end user.<br />
Under the name “Produits des Iles SA (PISA)” they set up a<br />
facility in Haiti‘s north, the center of cocoa cultivation. In the<br />
middle of the five main regions you need a maximum of three<br />
hours <strong>to</strong> the furthermost plantation.<br />
By now, the network consists of more than 1,500 organic<br />
farmers, the average plantation size is relatively small and the<br />
largest plantation is just one hectare.<br />

Ecuador is a republic in the north-west of South America<br />
between Colombia and Peru. The capital of Qui<strong>to</strong>, located in the<br />
Andean highlands, at 2,850 m, is the highest capital in the world.<br />
The producer organization Unión de Organizaciones Campesinas<br />
Cacaoteras, or UNOCACE, was founded in February 1999. In the<br />
meantime, the organization brings <strong>to</strong>gether around 900 smallscale<br />
farming families in the provinces of Guayas, Los Rios, El<br />
Oro and Bolivar.<br />
Nacional (or Arriba) cocoa is unique and thrives exclusively<br />
in Ecuador. It belongs <strong>to</strong> the Forastero variety, but no other<br />
forastero develops such a pronounced flavor. The cocoa we use<br />
comes from the famous cocoa region of Los Ríos.<br />

SUMAQUAO | TRINITARIO<br />
Peru is a country in western South America and borders the<br />
countries of Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia and Chile.<br />
In 2010, the Swiss cocoa expert Stefan Bloch and the Peruvian<br />
Israel Pisetsky founded SUMAQAO <strong>to</strong> buy cocoa in the region of<br />
Tocache. In addition, the company works closely with the farmers<br />
and assumes tasks similar <strong>to</strong> a cooperative. The now 2,000<br />
farmers from all over Peru receive support with the transition <strong>to</strong><br />
organic farming, increasing productivity and improving quality.<br />
The cocoa we use is only slightly fermented and dried in the sun.<br />
It is not roasted by us, so the antioxidants originally contained<br />
in the cocoa are preserved.<br />

Bolivia<br />
WILD BENÍ | BENIANO (March 2017)<br />
Bolivia is a landlocked country located in western-central South<br />
America. It is bordered <strong>to</strong> the west by Peru and Chile, <strong>to</strong> the south<br />
by Argentina and Paraguay, <strong>to</strong> the north and east by Brazil.<br />
Heirloom cacao varieties are the diamonds of cacao and rare —<br />
cacao trees and beans endowed with a combination of his<strong>to</strong>ric,<br />
cultural, botanical, geographical, and most importantly flavor value<br />
(www.hcpcacao.org). The wild growing cacao Wild Bení comes<br />
from the Hacienda Tranquilidad from the Bolivian Itenez-basin in<br />
the Amazon Delta. This cocoa is known as Beniano, genetically<br />
unique and not found anywhere else in the world.<br />
In this area more and more forested elevations emerge, which<br />
protrude a few meters out of the plain. The locals call these<br />
forest islands Chocolatales. One of these Chocolatales is called La<br />
Tranquilidad, the calm or serenity. The former German development<br />
expert Volker Lehmann, based in Santa Cruz, bought the place in<br />
2001 and established a center for the exploration of wild cocoa. The<br />
finca with 500 hectares of natural forest and 80 hectares of lowyielding<br />
natural pasture, as well as 40 hectares of nature reserve is a<br />
medium-sized farm, which gives two indigenous families permanent<br />
work, in comparison <strong>to</strong> the neighboring huge cattle farms with<br />
thousands of hectares. A series of Chocolatales has been cleared<br />
for grassland, which has already made the rare heirloom cacao<br />
disappear in some areas. In Tranquilidad a project was therefore<br />
initiated <strong>to</strong> preserve the Chocolatales.<br />

Dominican<br />
Republic<br />
The Dominican Republic is an island state located on the island<br />
of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean<br />
region. The western third of the island is occupied by the nation<br />
of Haiti.<br />
From the Dominican Republic, we get our cocoa beans from<br />
several partners. Our preferred and main suppliers are ÖKO<br />
Caribe and YACAO.<br />
ÖKO Caribe, founded by Gualber<strong>to</strong> Acebey Torrejon and<br />
Adriano de Jesus Rodriguez, works in close cooperation with<br />
180 farmers. The export quantity is rather modest for the local<br />
conditions. However, it still works very well because ÖKO Caribe<br />
maintains a close cooperation with farmers and also pays them<br />
much higher prices. For the year 2017, ÖKO Caribe is also<br />
planning <strong>to</strong> support the farmers with cocoa seedlings in order<br />
<strong>to</strong> increase farm yields and family income.<br />
YACAO is a project in the Yamasá region (40 km north of<br />
San<strong>to</strong> Domingo) and was lauchnched by the swiss company<br />
PRONATEC and local partners in 1999.<br />
The beans used in the Yacao project come from smallholders<br />
affiliated <strong>to</strong> the Fundación Dominicana de Produc<strong>to</strong>res Orgánicos<br />
(FUNDOPO). Grown from 84 families in 2000 <strong>to</strong>day FUNDOPO<br />
has more than 1000 members<br />
These cocoa beans are used in all our flavored chocolates, whole<br />
milk chocolates, vegan chocolates, Suchti-Dragees and Müsli.<br />
In our dark chocolate for the flavored chocolates the proportion<br />
is 60% (and 40% Ecuador UNOCACE), in all other chocolates<br />
the proportion is 100%.<br />

Acting out of necessity, the co-owners David Lea-Wilson and his<br />

1997. The previous business, oyster farming, fish wholesale and<br />
aquarium was very seasonal, therefore they both looked for a<br />

are almost twice as large. The passion fruit is used very often in<br />
promotions, as it is much more colorful.<br />
