ZORZAL PRINCIPLES
Set in the magnificent mountains and valleys of the Cordillera Septentrional, this is the first-ever cocoa-producing conservation reserve in the Dominican Republic.
This lively farm works in perfect harmony with the more than 1,000 acres of private habitat, creating the best cocoa in the region and giving the rare migratory songbirds that share the trees something sweet to sing about.
A MEETING PLACE FORCOCOA AND PRESERVATION
We work with Cacao del Bosque and local producers to implement organic farming principles and support ongoing conservation efforts for the reserve, Bicknell's thrush and other endemic bird species.
Through ongoing training in best practices, we increase production responsibly and support the region economically, while enhancing the biodiversity of this precious ecosystem.
AMELONADO & TRINITARIO
Plots 2 to 9 are divided into micro-lots to provide chocolatiers with a specific clone or combination of fermented clones according to their needs.
The majority of plots 2 to 9 have been planted with grafted trees, including clones named after Mata Larga (the local experimental cocoa station) and clones from Imperial College Selection (ICS) in Trinidad and United Fruit (UF) in Costa Rica.
