In 2021 we purchased 0.001% (1) of the cocoa produced in the world. However small the effect of our choices may seem on a global scale, the impact certainly remains significant for the families and people who produced that cocoa.<br \/>\nThis is why we ensure that the supply chain of our cocoa is 100% traceable and transparent, so as to ensure sustainability and quality of life for all.<\/p>\n<p>The values behind our cocoa selection:<\/p>\n<h4>QUALITY<\/h4>\n<p>We select cocoa beans with a unique flavor profile that can surprise us and our customers.<\/p>\n<h4>FAIR PRICE<\/h4>\n<p>Recognizing a fair price to farmers is the essential basis for creating stable, long-term partnerships with producing communities. We guarantee an appropriate price, higher than the local market price and a premium price upon achievement of quality and sustainability standards; we guarantee the purchase of the entire crop, anticipating part of the payment. These economic awards enable communities to invest in their own futures.<br \/>\nWe promote agriculture based on crop diversification by supporting training to support farmers in agricultural practices and post-harvest processing.<\/p>\n<h4>FOREST CONSERVATION AND DEFENSE<\/h4>\n<p>The large-scale expansion of cocoa crops has been one of the main causes of deforestation on a global scale. To ensure the future of the next generation, sustainable forest management cannot be ignored.<br \/>\nOur cocoa comes exclusively from plantations that guarantee agriforest farming an agricultural system based on crop diversification that is the ecological alternative to monoculture. The communities from which we source, collaborate with local organizations to protect native natural heritage by restoring natural resources in order to increase biodiversity.<\/p>\n<h4>DECENT WORKING CONDITIONS<\/h4>\n<p>In our supply chain, we can guarantee the total absence of child labor and slavery and fair and decent working conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_f77c4fa6 height_auto width_full\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_middle type_default reversed stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:0px;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_53df6aab\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_dfaa4465 has_text_color\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>HAZELNUT<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>More than 70 percent of our products contain hazelnut, in the best tradition of Turin chocolate. We use only the Tonda Gentile Trilobata Hazelnut, universally recognized as the best in the world and produced on the hills of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, according to the strict specifications of the consortium for the Protected Geographical Indication.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1997, we have been buying all our hazelnuts directly from a number of Langa producers with whom we have formed more than 20-year partnerships. This alliance ensures that the producer sells his entire production at a more remunerative price than the market price, and that we employ the best raw material.<\/p>\n<p>Gianduja chocolate perfectly demonstrates how a winning idea that starts from the local area returns a successful return to the area that generated it: it brings back wealth, notoriety, and virtuous economies of
