The Craft Cacao Standard
Open sourcing
We joke that you can always make bad chocolate from good beans, but not the other way around. Bad cacao always reveals itself as unpalatable in too many ways: from flavour defects, to social injustice to environmental degradation. To assure tasty beans that go down well in every respect, we offer here for open sourcing, the world's only Craft Cacao Standard.
