Nerdy things

Ararauna is a lush tropical farm on the cocoa coast of Bahia in the Atlantic Forest of Una.
A local nature preservation NGO banned illegal timber production and sawmills around the Una Biological Reserve. This motivated the Nüscheler family to register 39 hectares as a Private Natural Heritage Reserve. They supported the funding of the Cabruca cooperative in 2000 and have been members ever since.
Now deep into agroforestry and biodynamic agriculture practices, they achieved the Demeter certification. Their farming provides rich soil for
tropical fruit trees, peach palms, banana, pepper, coffee, and cocoa trees!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you source your cocoa?

We rely on thrusted importers that share the same vision of human rights, transparency and quality: ruvido is the result of hundreds of people, picking, processing, sorting, importing the product.

We are the last step of a chain and as such is our duty to show respect to those before us doing the best we can do present to you the best chocolate possible.

Why you choose to have just one a time single drop?

We think it is to important to underline how each cocoa is special and unique in itself. Even same plants and terroir will produce beans that taste slightly different each years influenced by both the climate of that year as well as any difference in temperature during fermentation.

Blending beans or working big volumes flatten high notes flavours that are the ones we sought after and that truly makes chocolate taste so differentL

For this reasons we decided to work low volume single drop in order to highlight how special each cocoa it is and make it shine.

How many bars do you produce for each drop?

It depends on how much was produced of the specific cocoa, the period of the year and our capabilty of processing volumes of cocoa .

Right now each drop is around 1.000 bars that it means one single sack of cocoa beans. In future we don't want to exceed 4.000 bars for each drop in order to respect the flavor of the specific beans.

Pazza, la amo!

Questo cioccolato mi ha fatto esplodere la testa, la texture ruvida dà la sensazione di mangiare una vera pera. Mai provato qualcosa di simile. Consigliatissima!
