OUR
HISTORY
Cafiesa (Cacaos Finos Ecuatorianos S.A.) was founded in Guayaquil,
Ecuador in 1974. In 1992 Triairi S.A. took over the cocoa processing
facility, and continued to export to the international market
becoming well-known for its quality products and reliability.Since
then, Cafiesa Triairi has incresed its capacity three times,
becoming the leading cocoa elaborates industry of Ecuador.
In June 2003 Cafiesa RD, an affiliate company, started its operations
in its new plant located in the Dominican Republic, making it
possible to obtain cocoa products from both origins, each one
with its unique flavor and characteristics, and of course with
the Cafiesa guarantee.
OUR COMMITMENT
Through the years, Cafiesa has developed unique quality control
methods and process technology to continously improve the quality
of its cocoa products. To assure the distinctive flavor of each
cocoa variety, our raw material laboratories test each lot throughly
based on organoleptic an physical/chemical characteristics.
Thus, hibrid or defective beans are kept out of our production
lines. After the raw material passes the lab tests, the cocoa
beans are wahed by a especially developed line prior to adding
them to the roasting and grinding process. This takes away large
quantities of dirt and extraneous matter that are usually sticked
on the beans shell, and avoids cross-contamination from the
shell to the cocoa nib. Each segment of our process line is
continuosly checked by our professional quality assurance staff.
These are just some examples how Cafiesa has built a premium
product line to meet all your quality standards and delight
you with luscious cocoa products.
ABOUT OUR COCOA
Our experience permits the right treatment and processing of
the beans, that only an origin based manufacturer can provide.
As part of our commitment, Cafiesa strictly selects the highest
quality grades to emphasize the distinctive flavor profiles
characteristic of each cocoa variety of various origins.
ECUADORIAN COCOA
The "Arriba" or "Nacional" cocoa beans are
one of the most exquisit beans of the world. As a fine aromatic
bean, its full-bodied flavor and a floral aroma are some of
its delectable qualities. A delicious taste from the middle
of the world right to your mouth.
DOMINICAN COCOA
From this beautiful Caribbean island, the Dominican cocoa beans
bring us an unique exotic flavor. This luscious taste has been
achieved through a post-fermentation process, technology that
has been specially developed by Cafiesa to unveil a pleasing
texture and an agreeably rich flavor. |
