The Grenada Cocoa Association is a cooperative that brings together 3,000 producers. These producers grow cocoa with their families in "jardins créoles", a local agroforestry model combining cocoa with spices, fruit and vegetables. For this small Caribbean island, cocoa is a truly social, cultural and family affair.

Founded in 1964, the Association is the only cooperative of cocoa producers on the island. It is responsible for the distribution of selected cocoa trees, the centralized preparation of cocoa and the training of producers in good agricultural and environmental practices. All of its members are Fairtrade certified.

The commitment of the Grenada Cocoa Association to promoting socially and environmentally sustainable agricultural practices, a commitment shared by producers, makes it an obvious partner for us. Our relationship continues to go from strength to strength and today Valrhona buys nearly half of Grenada's cocoa.

Kalingo 65%

Kalingo's highly refined aromas give it an unexpectedly intense freshness. The balance of the chocolatey note is gently elevated by a dash of peppermint.
