Pacari - Ecuador to Middle East
Pacari Chocolate is a family-owned company, dedicated to making the highest quality organic chocolate from Ecuador. Bringing Pacari to shelves across the UAE is ABA Stepsworth, a global firm that specialises in import and distribution. We are excited to bring the award-winning Pacari to the UAE. Its organic and vegan range, created with sustainable practices, will be true delight for chocolate connoisseurs.
Santiago Peralta and Carla Barboto built a business based on socially and environmentally sustainable principles to ensure that their products support the well-being of the land and the community around it. Combining a passion for sustainable business and a commitment to preserving the native Arriba Nacional cacao, they developed Pacari Chocolate – the first single-origin organic chocolate made entirely in Ecuador.
Since 2002 we have worked with cacao growers and acquired knowledge that enables us to create a fine chocolate with the best flavor and texture possible, here at the source of the treasured fine flavor cacao. An essential ingredient is being involved in the entire process – from working directly with the farmers to designing the packaging, and in every step in between. Serving the native Arriba Nacional cacao, they developed Pacari Chocolate – the first single-origin organic chocolate made entirely in Ecuador.
Pacari works in small batches using carefully selected ingredients to bring you an unforgettable chocolate experience. The word Pacari means “nature” in Quechua, an indigenous language of the Andean region. The name was chosen to evoke all that our chocolate is about: the best products from the earth, all natural and 100% Ecuadorian.
Pacari continues to seek out innovative ways to bring out the best in the fine flavor Ecuadorian (Arriba Nacional) cacao, from our Raw chocolate line, to our latest range of dark chocolate with flavors from across the Andes.
Quality
Our primary goal is to ensure that we create the finest quality chocolate. We search for superior organic ingredients, and produce our chocolate in small batches to highlight the exceptional flavor profile of the cacao bean. We use only Arriba Nacional cacao, the plants native to Ecuador that yield a bean classified as “fino de aroma.” This cacao is known for its rich, full taste and complex fruity and floral notes. When you partake of Pacari Chocolate, you are experiencing a little bit of what makes Ecuador special
