Discover our mission, vision, and the way we want to make the world a little better with heart, hand, and mind.

About Us

Corazon de Cacao is much more than just a cocoa company. We stand for sustainability, transparency, and a deep connection with the indigenous communities of Guatemala. From the cocoa bean to every product we create, we believe in the power of community, respect for nature, and trust in traditional production methods..

Our Mission

We are creating an authentic, human, and community-based marketplace that revolves around cocoa, the well-being of people, and the sharing of knowledge. We aim to enrich people's lives by sharing our love for nature and craftsmanship. Our products are more than just consumer goods – they are an expression of our deep connection to the earth and to the people who cultivate it.

Our Vision

In harmony with nature, in respect for culture, and in love for people, we wish to contribute to a more sustainable world. Every cocoa tree we plant and every bean we harvest is part of a larger vision – a vision that brings hope and dignity to the rural areas of Guatemala while also taking on global responsibility.


Why we are different

At Corazon de Cacao, it's not just about cocoa – it's about people, communities, and a fairer future. We work directly with indigenous communities in Guatemala, creating sustainable value that goes far beyond fair prices..

What sets us apart:

  • Transparency at all levels: With us, you can trace every step of our cocoa – from the tree to the finished bar. We know every family behind our products and make their stories visible.
  • Tradition meets innovation: We combine centuries-old traditions of the Maya culture with modern methods to protect the environment and enhance quality. In doing so, we rely on handcrafted work to create local jobs and maintain value creation within the communities.
  • Social projects that make a difference: Our work is not limited to cocoa cultivation. We support education, health, and reforestation in the regions where we operate. This sustainably improves the lives of the local people.
  • Community instead of profit maximisation: Our vision is to work with people, not over them. We see ourselves as partners of the communities, not as exploiters of nature or labour.

Corazon de Cacao stands for radical transparency, social justice, and the deep conviction that sustainable change can only be achieved through honest, long-term collaboration..

All Handicraftt:

Quality control: Through manual work, the cocoa beans can be carefully selected and processed, which enhances the quality of the end products. Each bean is treated with care to ensure the highest standards.

Tradition and Culture: Handicrafts preserve traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. This keeps the cultural heritage of indigenous communities alive..

Economic Advantages: Handicraft creates jobs in local communities, especially for women, and provides an additional income. This fits perfectly with the social business concept of Corazon de Cacao, which focuses on fair collaboration and community support..
