Our Story

Pacari Chocolate was created in 2002 by Santiago Peralta and Carla Barbotó with the aim of changing the history of chocolate in Ecuador. What started as a family project would soon become a business that revolutionized the industry, not only in the country but throughout the Latin American region.
One of our fundamental principles is to put the producer first. The quality of Pacari reflects the work together with each person involved in constant innovation, social responsibility, sustainability and direct trade with small-scale farmers.

Direct trade with farmers

Ecuador´s history of cocoa production goes back more than 300 years. But it is only in recent years that it began to really work in the hands of small-scale farmers. Their knowledge of the land is one of the most important values for Pacari, that's why we respect their work and wisdom.
At Pacari we pride ourselves on paying the highest price to cocoa producers and maintain a good relationship with farmers' communities.
