Port of Amsterdam - World’s largest cocoa portPort of Amsterdam is the world’s largest port for cocoa bean imports. All facilities, from transhipment to manufacturing, are available in the region. Big players in the cocoa industry, like Cargill, OLAM and Dutch Cocoa are established in de Amsterdam Region. Companies handling and storing cocoa or cocoa products are Vollers, CWT Commodities, Katoen Natie, Steinweg-Handelsveem, HD Cotterell, ACS and DSV. All is done in one region.Each year more than 600.000 tonnes of cocoa is transhipped by the port of Amsterdam. Mostly in sea containers, but also in bulk and breakbulk. 95% percent of the cocoa beans is coming from Ivory Coast and Ghana, 5% from Central-America

Direct connection for cocoa transportationFurthermore, the port of Amsterdam has excellent hinterland connections (water, rail, road, air) for cocoa transportation. The port of Amsterdam region has also outstanding inland shipping facilities. Many cocoa terminals are directly connected to frequent barge shuttles into Europe.

Excellent connections The port of Amsterdam region has a well-equipped sea-entrance and excel-lent hinterland connections by water, rail, road, air and underground pipeline. This, together with the unique location within the world’s largest international energy hub ARA (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp), makes the port of Amsterdam region a logical location for liquid bulk.

New possibilities with the new biggest sea-lock of the world The port always seeks opportunities to become smarter, faster and cleaner. With the realization of the new and biggest sea-lock of the world in 2019 (500 meters long, 70 meters wide and 18 meters deep), the port of Amsterdam will be ready to welcome more and bigger ships at the same time. This new lock also offers more capacity 24/7 hours a day, tideless, safe, time efficient and more flexibility. The time to consider new possibilities is now. We welcome you at the port of Amsterdam!

Ecuador: land of the world s best cacao“Ecuador’s cacao zone is to chocolate cognoscenti what Bordeaux is to wine lovers”. Paul Richardson1, 1843 the culture, lifestyle and ideas magazine from

The Economist

As early as the beginning of XVI century, small cocoa plantations sat in banks of the Guayas river. From there, cacao farming expanded upstream to the

banks of Daule and Babahoyo rivers. Giving origin to the “Arriba” denomina-tion for the Ecuadorian cocoa. Nowadays Ecuador grows two types (and

several varieties) of CCN-51 and Cacao Nacional.

But, what makes Ecuadorian cacao so special? Ecuadorian climate conditions and geographical location are important factors. Nevertheless, Ecuadorian cacao s particular floral and fruity aroma comes from the rich biodiversity

surrounding every crop. The organoleptic characteristics of Ecuadorian cacao in every small farm sails from tropical, citric or fruity flavors, nuts &

berries tones to floral & spicy revelations.

Cacao production in Ecuador is done by small farmers (organized in associa-tion, alliances or cooperatives), most of them use natural methods for pest-

prevention and disease control. In addition, fermentation and quality-control standards are carefully applied in the entire value chain.

Ecuador became Latin America’s number-one producer. It supplies 60% of the world’s “fine flavor” cacao production required in the European and

American industries of chocolate production. Also, Ecuadorian chocolate makers are joining the world s finest selection of chocolate bars in the

consumer market. After centuries of been just exporters of raw material, the passion of the cacao has raised a new generation of Ecuadorian

chocolatiers, responsible of revolutionizing the industry with the best chocolate of the world.

Cacao de aroma from PeruAn unforgettable, unique and sensational experience

In Peru, a country located in the central and austral part of South America, an aromatic cocoa known as ‘Cacao de Aroma’ is cultivated. Its seed, recognized by its floral, citric, and fruit notes, is embodied in the finest chocolates made from it. These attributes are contributed by the ecosystems where cocoa is

grown, the process of fermentation, and the process of drying.

Cacao de Aroma has grown in Peru since ancient times. Recent research in the Peruvian Amazon shows that Peru is the center of origin of this

kind of cocoa.The different colors of the crops are red, orange, yellow, and brown, which describe the high genetic variety that Peru has, concentrating 60% of the

existing varieties.

The seeds in the crops constitute the basis for obtaining a cocoa of excellent quality that works as the perfect ingredient to produce the finest chocolates.

These cocoa seeds are subjected to a fermentation process, in which they develop their characteristic flavor and aroma, to then be placed for their

natural drying.

The chocolates have diverse presentations ordered by their cocoa content, with dark chocolates going up to 80% cocoa. Other variations of 50%, 55%, 65%, 70% and 72% belong to mixtures with sugar, milk and other ingredients such as dried fruits, chestnuts, etc. Also available in the Peruvian market you

will find chocolates flavored with essential oils such as cinnamon, ginger, lemon verbena, coffee, among others.

Cocoa in Colombia, as exciting as its origin

According to the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO), 95% of the cocoa produced in Colombia is fine flavor, this distinction is granted only to 5% of

the grains produced worldwide. Its outstanding quality has been awarded in highly known worldwide specialized events such as the “Salon du Chocolat”. Colombian government named it the “peace crop”, as part of the strategy for the post conflict process in rural areas, generating opportunities that improve the life quality of the farmers. In Colombia cocoa is cultivated mainly by small

and medium size producers, gathering more than 35,000 families.

There are mainly three types of Colombian cacao: Criollo beans, forastero or amazon and trinitario or hybrid beans. Colombian cocoa flavors profiles are

directly correlated with the wide spectrum of climate and genetic diversity of each producing region. Ranging from strong cocoa/fudge organoleptic

profiles to subtle floral and fruity smooth cocoa types, most of Colombian cacao have some sweet nuts and molasses rounding the flavor notes.

Colombia has a strategic geographic position and, as tropical country, the national territory benefits from permanent lighting and the availability of

hydric resources all year long.

Colombia s excellent cocoa quality has been acknowledged as “Cocoa of excellence” in 2010, 2011 and 2015. Some International chocolate awards

Colombia has received are: Fruit pastes and jellies covered in dark chocolate, whole fruit in dark chocolate, micro-lot – dark chocolate bars and micro-lot

– milk chocolate bars.

ALKIMIA (PREMIO REAL AGRONEGOCIOS)

Alkimia is a labour of love by a father and daughter. Several years ago, Roberto and Daniela discovered a common passion that bonded them: chocolate. We began collecting chocolate from every place we travelled, exploring its many flavours, shapes and aromas. We realized that if we could focus on the unique and complex qualities of the cacao bean we could highlight its natural flavours and create a completely pure and unique chocolate using only two ingredients: cacao and artisanal sugar, thus Alkimia was born. We focused on the cacao bean in our native Peru, we recognized that all of its unique flavours and nuances were yet to be discovered.

CACAO EXPORT SA

We offer beyond Tree to Bar chocolates, by starting the process with the birth of the cocoa seeds in the nursery located in our farm. As a result, we provide complete traceability and transparency of the entire cocoa to chocolate chain.

Our fine flavor chocolate has an Amazonian Origin from the northeastern region of Ecuador. The beans come from a native Cocoa Tree that was discovered in the Province of Orellana, proud home of the Yasuni National Park. This variety known as the “Sacha Super Tree” brings to life distinctive orange pods. With an adequate fermentation and drying process, we obtain pleasant fruity and nutty notes thanks to our well-developed postharvest system. Inside our marquees we produce beans with sev-eral profile flavors and aromas that are combined in a signature blend, that represents a key component of our delightful single-estate single-origin choco-late bars with diverse concentrations of cocoa and ingredients.

The native people collect, ferment and dry the beans using their ancient knowledge and our company processes them into cocoa liquor and chocolate products.The particularity of this cocoa liquor is its wildness, this makes it a gourmet product intended to make fine chocolate.

PERLA

The brand Perla Organic Chocolate led by the young entrepreneur, Carol Marcial, was born from the imperious desire to carry out a project that has to do with the development of an organic chocolate with a real quality control that goes from the sow-ing of the cocoa plants on its own farm under the supervision of technical experts in the area. Followed by value chain processes that must be strictly done to meet the highest standards of qual-ity. Carol Marcial was motivated to realize this dream considering that its parents have an agricul-tural property that is in the community of “Río Muchacho” very close to the beaches of Canoa, pertaining to the canton of San Vicente in the prov-ince Manabí. The implementation of this project is closely linked to the human and community aspects, in order to promote jobs for natives of the area, to encourage the owners of agricultural properties in the organic management and not to use chemical elements that damage the good development of the plantation.

Mold & Form: The “molds” come in different sizes and weights. The decorations are sometimes simple, or they used for that time very complex images. You can often guess in which period the molds were manufactured. By brushing or polishing the metal, you can show the metal or emphasize the thin layer of rust, whatever suits the owner.
