Since 2011, our team has worked with cacao farmers from the north tropical region of Costa Rica to produce a premium quality cacao. Nahua recognized the opportunity to have a positive impact on the lives of smallholder cacao farmers and implemented programs to support sustainable farming practices, helping increase cacao tree productivity and farmer income. Historically, one of the more underserved segments of society, rural smallholder farmers are now working to revitalize their cacao forests.<\/p>\n
Nahua Chocolates are produced in Costa Rica by a highly qualified team of Costa Ricans and Latin Americans\u00a0who have embraced\u00a0Nahua\u2019s passion\u00a0for producing gourmet premium chocolate while supporting social development and the environment.
