A “single estate” chocolate made from cacao from old native trees of the Rehoboth Estate in the Calinan district of Davao City, Philippines. Although these trees produce much smaller cacao pods and beans than the newer, higher-yielding trees, the flavours are intense and alluring.
The Fossa chocolate manufactory in Singapore focuses on careful artisanal production in small batches and without additives to bring out the unique taste and nuances of each batch of cocoa.
Fossa works with farmers who dedicate their lives to the craft of cocoa farming and fermentation, and only buys high quality cocoa.
To ensure the longevity of their partnership and the continuous improvement of the farmers’ living and working conditions, they pay them above commodity prices. This allows the farmers to earn healthy wages that allow them to dedicate more time cultivating the flavour of cocoa, rather than focusing only on yield.
