We work directly with local farmers across the Asian region to source our cacao. Through a direct trade model, we ensure that farmers receive fair compensation for their craftsmanship and hard work.

<p>Jerome Penafort started Asian Cacao in 2020, bringing a thoughtful and hands-on approach to his work. He’s spent time getting to know cacao at its roots, with a clear focus on where it comes from and how it’s grown. Jerome keeps things grounded and authentic—there’s no fuss, just honest effort in doing things right. While there’s no big list of public contributions yet, his quiet dedication shows in the care he puts into his project. He’s the kind of host who’s more interested in meaningful work than flashy headlines, and that makes all the difference.
