About
Acaoyer
Based in Nantes, Acaoyer operates as a bean-to-bar producer. This artisan approach allows the maker to oversee the transformation of cocoa beans into finished chocolate within their own facilities.
The production process includes the use of a melanger, where the maker carries out stone grinding to refine the chocolate. This mechanical step plays a central role in the physical preparation of their bars.
Acaoyer maintains an organic certification for their production. Furthermore, the maker implements direct-trade practices to manage the sourcing of their cocoa, prioritizing transparent relationships with their supply sources.
