How We Source Our Almendra Blanca Cacao

We source these beans from farmer Vicente Caçep, whose family has been growing cacao on their family farm, Hacienda Jesus Maria, in Tabasco, Mexico for over 80 years.

Monica first discovered Vicente's farm on one of her sourcing trips to Mexico, and was impressed by the quality of his beans and his entire operation.  He runs his own nursery to cultivate cacao trees that produce these unique white beans. He also does all of his own fermentation and drying.

At the time, Hacienda Jesus Maria wasn't exporting beans to the United States. We worked with him to arrange transportation to our farm. Each year, we send a truck to his farm to pick up the beans he sets aside for us. We manage the entire customs and import process. Visit our Almendra Blanca Cacao page to learn more about how we source our beans.
