Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An Ecuadorian cacao operation documenting Nacional Arriba cocoa from 18 traceable microlots in Esmeraldas, alongside consumer products and export offerings.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The operation divides its Esmeraldas production into 18 named or numbered microlots and reports tree counts and productivity for each farm, rather than treating origin as a single undifferentiated claim. Its field record says lots are harvested and fermented separately and audited twice yearly. The product range extends from 50%, 70%, and 90% bars to cocoa powders, a prepared chocolate drink, and 500-gram selected cacao grain. Export is described for the United States and Europe, with ANECACAO and BCS certificate references displayed.
