Pacari

[Pacari (www.pacari.com) is a family owned and operated company founded in 2002 that produces organic and fair trade chocolate. They were among the first to bet on arriba cocoa for high volume production. Pacari bars have since won (and are still winning) many international awards.

The term “Pacari”, in Quechua, means “nature” and “awakening”, and its logo represents a hieroglyph of man-tree, more than 5000 years old, belonging to the Valdivian culture of the Ecuadorian coast.

Pacari also relies on sustainable agriculture and the support of the farming families who produce arriba cocoa. In particular, according to this interview, they only deal with small producers, whom they encourage to follow the permaculture path and grow other crops alongside cocoa.

Pacari chocolate is sold in over 60 countries around the world, including Canada since 2020: in Montreal, it can be found at Rachel Berri, and in Ontario at Metro.
