It's Not Just a Wine Term.

Terroir refers to the complete natural environment in which a particular crop is produced, including factors such as the soil, topography, and climate. Just like grapes, cacao beans absorb the characteristics of their surroundings, leading to vastly different flavor profiles.

At DAVID C BOGGESS, we believe understanding terroir is key to appreciating the subtle complexities within each exceptional chocolate bar we craft. It connects you directly to the earth and the hands that cultivate these remarkable beans.

Beyond Fair Trade. This is Direct Trade.

We build personal relationships with the farmers and cooperatives who grow our cacao. This direct-trade model ensures they are paid premium prices for their premium beans, fostering a sustainable partnership that you can taste in every bar.

Our commitment to direct trade reflects our core values: transparency, equity, and a profound respect for the land and its stewards. It’s part of the DAVID C BOGGESS difference, allowing us to source exceptional beans while supporting thriving communities.
