About Hacienda Palo Santo - Cacao

Contact: info@haciendapalosanto.com 🍃. Hacienda Palo Santo is a family-owned business managing two single-estate farms, engaged in the production and export of high-quality cacao products since 1991. We offer certified organic cacao in various forms: Cacao: Beans, Nibs, Liquor & Pods. Cacao Pulp: Frozen, Aseptic, Powder & Freeze Dried. Palo Santo is located on the Cerecita Valley near the Ecuadorian coast, one hour away from Guayaquil. Palo Santo is daily managed by a family of agronomists who have been involved in the cacao production over three generations, developing innovative production techniques to protect resources and increase productivity while working on rigorous post-harvest controls with the needed infrastructure to produce the highest quality and homogenous cacao beans and pulp. Our cacao: 🍃 We only plant selected and proven vegetative genetic material. 🍃 We maintain a rigorous traceability of each one of our trees and their production. 🍃 We guarantee that all the cacao we export comes from a single plantation, thus assuring a homogeneous taste and quality of the cocoa beans and pulp. During the post- harvest process, an hourly control is carried out, therefore our customers can be informed of all the steps and time of each prepared batch for sale. Palo Santo in action: Since we are suppling the food industry, it is our philosophy to offer a very neat cacao bean that does not touch the ground or dirt in any stage of the production process and is not contaminated with external materials, therefore is ready to use. The organic cocoa certification process demands an international control system that allows tracking the product in all elaboration phases, through the identification and codification of each lot, sacks and the logistics of the industrial process. The marketing directives for this product have been centralized in direct projects with the best chocolate makers and strategic alliances both locally and internationally.
