#WE RESPECT 3F

What empowers Puratos to pursue our passion in the research and development of 60DAYS chocolate is the RESPECTS for Forest-Fruit-Farmers (3F)

- Forest: at Puratos Grand-Palace, we respect Mother Nature - the gentle land of Ben Tre that bears old alluvium, the tranquil environment and specific soil characteristics.

- Fruit: we treasure every cocoa bean through a connected process: 4 days of slow roasting, 7 days of natural fermentation, and 14 days of drying, absorbing the essence of earth and sky.

- Farmers: accompanying cocoa farmers in Cacao Trace, we cherish them as well as their blood, sweat, and tears, quietly nurturing and preserving the values of Vietnamese cocoa.

#CACAO TRACE – THE JOURNEY OF CREATING & SHARING VALUES

Cacao Trace Fresh Certificate, the next level of CACAO-TRACE, is a proud landmark of 60DAYS on the journey of building and sharing values, increasing benefits for Vietnamese cocoa growers.

- Build values:

Elevate cocoa flavor thanks to a bean classification, fermentation, drying, and roasting process closely controlled and monitored under strict guidelines.

In CACAO-TRACE Fresh, the process “from farm to chocolate” is locally connected and transition time is minimized to prevent the decrease in flavor’s freshness.

- Share values:

Chocolate Bonus: with per kilo of chocolate sold, €0.10 goes directly back to the cocoa farming communities we work with. We also provide cocoa farmers with training and premium pricing.
