Origin

Sourced from where
the Amazon begins.

Oríkao was born in the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon, where cacao cultivation dates back more than 5,000 years. Our cacao is sourced from traditional Amazonian Chakra systems and the fine cacao traditions of Afro-Ecuadorian coastal communities.

We source directly. No intermediaries, no commodity brokers. Every batch is fully traceable from the Kichwa families who grew it, through controlled fermentation and processing, to your port of entry.

We export products rarely available through conventional sourcing channels. Not extracted. Grown, tended, and sent with care.
