Republica del Cacao

República del Cacao was founded in 2005 by the Chiriboga brothers with one goal: to revive the revered heritage of Latin American cacao — from Ecuador’s famed Cacao Arriba to fine Peruvian, Mexican, Dominican, and Amazonian varieties — crafted into exceptional chocolates with purpose.

Born in Ecuador and produced entirely in Quito, each chocolate begins its journey at the source—partnering closely with local farming communities to foster sustainability, traceability, and respect for tradition. Through technical support, fair pricing, and initiatives elevating native varieties, the brand ensures ethical practices run through every step of the process.

As a Certified B Corporation, República del Cacao continually balances profit and purpose, integrating a triple-impact strategy — social, environmental, and economic — united by a commitment to excellence. Its chocolates are made with 100% Latin American ingredients — cacao, milk, sugar cane — and benefit from technological precision and artisanal know-how.

Celebrated by pastry chefs and chocolatiers worldwide, this brand delivers couverture with terroir-rich flavour and professional performance, all while safeguarding people and planet.
