Cocoa farmer and chocolate maker

Baixa Fresca

Located in Iguaí, south of Bahia State, Mr. João's farm has a story that spans three generations of cocoa farmers. Today his daughter, Josiane Luz, founding partner of Luzz Cacau, aims to keep this story going.

Back in 2000, João was struggling to make a living from his cacao plantation. Then, faced with an infestation of "witch's broom" (a fungal disease that causes the cocoa to rot), he was forced to do away with most of the plantation. Disappointed, he thought that this was the end of the generation of cocoa farmers.

But in 2009, on a trip to Europe, his daughter Josiane Luz was introduced to specialty cocoa and learned that Brazil was one of the best places to cultivate it. Josiane began a journey of discovery of the world of cocoa. She brought all her knowledge back home, and that was when the family business grew from not only cultivating cocoa, but to also making chocolate out of it.

In 2020, Josiane founded Luzz Cacau Chocolateria de Origem LTDA, with the goal of offering sustainable, healthy chocolate, free of preservatives, adding value and flavor to Brazilian chocolate from family farming and with a lot of social and environmental responsibility. Today, in 2023, Josiane and Mr. João work together using a different way to cultivate cocoa through the "Cabruca" system, thus preserving the existing agro-forestry.
