OWORUM, GHANA
A Century Of Stewardship
These gorgeous cocoa pods grow and shine all season on our partner farm in Oworam, in Ghana's Eastern Region. For over a century, this land has been carefully cultivated, with the Suhurum River flowing beneath the farm, naturally nourishing the cocoa trees throughout the seasons without the need for irrigation.
Beneath the Forest Canopy
Cocoa trees thrive here as part of a diverse agroforestry system, growing alongside mangoes, plantains, cassava and alligator pepper, beneath a canopy of coconut palms and indigenous hardwood species such as Odum and Ofram.
A Soil That Breathes
The earth is nourished naturally using poultry manure, composted cow dung, decomposed cacao husks, coconut husks, and fallen leaf litter. Cacao husks are returned to the land after harvest and left to break down slowly over the course of a year, while cow dung is composted for at least three months before application.
Traditional Heap Fermentation
Flavour is shaped long before the beans are roasted. Freshly harvested cacao beans are traditionally heap-fermented under banana or plantain leaves for several days before being slowly sun-dried. This patient process develops the cacao's rich complexity and depth. The dried beans are gently crushed into nibs, dehusked and sorted by hand.
Raw, Sun-dried, Hand-sorted
La méthode traditionnelle de fermentation en tas, où les fèves de cacao sont enveloppées de feuilles de bananier ou de plantain et laissées à fermenter pendant quelques jours, ainsi que le séchage au soleil des fèves fermentées, donne aux fèves de cacao sa saveur complexe. Une fois séchées, les fèves sont simplement broyées en grains, décortiquées et triées à la main. Avec une forte teneur en beurre de cacao, c'est la forme de cacao la plus pure que l'on puisse consommer ! Non torréfié, non transformé.
