Description

Choba Choba is high quality farmer-owned organic chocolate, made in Switzerland from Peruvian cacao beans. The Peruvian farmers co-own the Swiss company in an innovative model ensuring the fairest possible form of cooperation in the value chain. We love it.

This harmonious organic milk caramel sea salt chocolate bar with 41% cacao is made from selected cocoa beans from Choba Choba’s own farms in the Alto Huayabamba Valley in Peru. Swiss organic milk is added for a smooth and soft creamy finish, plus golden caramel, and Guérain sea salt from France. And then the ingredients are worked by one of the best Swiss chocolatiers to get their final form and bring out their natural flavours.

Chocolate bar name: Each chocolate bar is named after a Choba Choba cacao farmer and co-owner of the company. This bar caries the name of Felix.

Who is Felix? Felix, born in 1985 in Rioja, San Martín, was raised in Pucallpillo with his mother and sister, where he helped on his stepfather’s coca farm during the years of terrorism. He began school at six, but financial hardships forced him to leave after primary school and work as a laborer. At 17, he moved to Juanjuí, where he worked in a grocery store until the age of 23. Later, Felix returned to Pucallpillo to start cacao farming. He also took a job selling sodas. After meeting Leidy, the two married, and in 2011, their son Angel Abel was born. While Leidy works in education, Felix continues to cultivate cacao. He values that Choba Choba’s cooperative focuses on supporting both families and communities, citing improvements like a fertilization plan and a post-harvest module. He aims to expand his farm, raise livestock, and ensure that his son receives a good education, while also addressing the pest challenges affecting cacao production.
