Evan Millar, our Senior Business Development Manager in the UK, fills us with motivation for this new path the company is undertaking. He comments:

“...the difference is the passionate team we have here in the UK plus our team in Ecuador, and of course our authenticity. So far, I haven't seen any other brand on the market that can compete in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), telling a real story, its origins, complete traceability of South American raw materials, and quality. The distinctive flavors of each of República del Cacao's product profiles will make the biggest difference. Personally, I think they are profiles that the European market will love.”

Evan also believes that our Amazonía 75% dark chocolate will become a “best-seller” in the country, thanks to its unique flavor notes derived from Sacha cacao beans.

We are very excited about this new market full of infinite possibilities! We are proud to reach more and more countries with excellent quality Latin American chocolate, which promotes our history and culture internationally. All of our chocolates are produced locally and come from small cacao plantations in Latin America, supporting our allied cacao farmers in their social, economic, and environmental development.

See you soon for more!
