Meybol Cacao, the chocolate maker, welcomed visitors to their website with a warm introduction. Born in Peru, Meybol Antuantet Estendorfer-Moran had a deep-rooted connection to cocoa and a passion for safeguarding the environment. Although now residing in Hamburg with her family, her heart remained divided between her old homeland, Peru, and her new home, Germany. These two places held a special place in her heart, representing the essence of nature, people, and the collective responsibility to protect the environment.

Meybol Cacao's journey started with a profound desire to make a positive impact. Observing the exploitation of small farmers, child labor, ecological disasters, and habitat destruction in her home country, she couldn't ignore the consequences of these issues. Her determination to make a change led to the birth of Meybol Cacao, a project deeply rooted in her love for cocoa and the well-being of the planet.

Their vision was clear - to contribute to the preservation of the Earth and the welfare of its inhabitants. The motivation behind their work was to ensure a better, safer future for generations to come, where life could flourish in harmony with nature. This commitment to environmental protection was reflected in the pure and natural taste of their chocolate, a tangible connection to the Earth's beauty.

With each chocolate bar sold, Meybol Cacao invested in revitalizing nature, conducted essential educational work in the communities, supported rainforest reforestation, and championed ecological and sustainable farming practices in their sourcing regions. The belief was that they could indeed shape the future, not just for Mother Earth but for all generations.

Every chocolate bar produced by Meybol Cacao was a testament to their dedication. Unlike industrial chocolate, their entire production process was meticulously handcrafted, from tending to cocoa trees, harvesting, fermenting, drying, roasting, grinding, to conching, resulting in unique, high-quality chocolate with an unmatched flavor.

Meybol Cacao followed the tree-to-bar concept, maintaining full control of the value chain and promoting transparency, eliminating intermediaries. Yet, it wasn't just about the quality of chocolate; they had a profound commitment to the well-being of Peruvian farmers, ensuring fair wages, and providing education on climate protection to safeguard the rainforest.

For Meybol Cacao, their chocolate was more than a delightful treat; it was a means of making the world a better place. Their mission was deeply rooted in giving back to the world, and they invited all, regardless of the scale of their contributions, to be part of this noble endeavor. Meybol Cacao promised to reward the kindness of those who joined them on this journey, knowing that, by savoring their chocolate, one could indeed make the world a better place

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
