In 2010 when Junglegold started making chocolate, local cacao farmers had all but abandoned their farms. They spent two years working with farmers to develop a simple yet sustainable farming model using microorganisms and improving pest management instead of intensive chemical agriculture. Working tirelessly, they improved post-harvest techniques such as fermentation and solar drying to dramatically improve the quality of the beans.
Junglegold has been working directly with farmers in Bali to produce the finest cacao beans and create premium bean-to-bar chocolate. Their beans travel a short distance from the farms to the factory, where they roast and grind small batches from individual cooperatives to handcraft their award-winning chocolate. Being close to the farms enables them to maintain the highest quality while supporting farmers with a price premium that means farmers benefit from the chocolate as much as you enjoy it. Being fully plant-based, Junglegold chocolate can be enjoyed by everyone.
