GREEN ENERGY
We use photovoltaic panels to produce our own electricity. A 16,000 Kw/h system covers more than 30% of the energy we need.
SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY
For over 30 years, we have maintained a direct relationship with the production areas. We have established direct ties with producers who prioritize natural harvesting and drying methods that respect the environment and biodiversity. We collaborate with cooperatives that have UTZ, Rainforest Alliance, Alliance Biodiversity & CIAT.
CIRCULAR PACKAGING
Packagingmade from cocoa waste. We are among the first producers in Italy to use cartaflora obtained from cocoa bean husks, which are micronized and partly used as a replacement for cellulose. This is a concrete example in favor of a circular economy that gives value to production waste and will be adopted for all the products in our catalog, including informational material and brochures.
