About us:
Hi, I'm Carolina from Panama. I'm the founder of Cacao Blessings, a women-owned social-business that connects cacao from a very specific region in the Caribbean with the modern world through dark chocolate that captures the essence of the tropical rainforest.
I find inspiration in nature and my style of making chocolate is to give importance to the cacao beans we carefully handpick.
With your support, we continue to elevate the work of artisan women who have kept alive the tradition of growing and processing cacao, a handmade method, a slow food activity on the biodiverse archipelago of Bocas del Toro.
Carolina Lescure
THE HEART, THE PASSION AND THE DREAM that brought this chocolatería to life.
Our goal is to create value in the coastal community we are based at and connect with conscious consumers.
Our vision:
While making chocolate right where our cacao is sourced, we have a wider understanding of the real needs and challenges native cacao farmers faced.
That's the reason we do not seek our business to fit into current models and certifications.
In the field, we focus on working closely with female cacao farmers who follow quality standards we suggest. We purchase their crops at prices that are above what the market actually pays, valuing their arduous work and protecting them from market fluctuations.
Our mission is to focus on the integral well-being of our clients, staff and allies, keep alive the tradition of female cacao farmers of our territory and go beyond making chocolate that tastes like Panama. We aim to create mind-blowing products, regenerative experiences and meaningful partnerships as our community grows.
