Brazilian premium chocolate brands are sourcing cocoa straight from farmers to ensure product quality. The trend is known as ‘bean-to-bar,’ or even ‘tree-to-bar’ – which goes even further, with brands that handle everything from growing the fruit to processing the chocolate. Growers in the three main coffee-farming states – Bahia, Pará and Espírito Santo – are also pulling together to secure Geographical Indications (GI) for their regions, a label that ensures product origin, quality, and production process.
