Pacari Chocolate is a family-owned company, dedicated to making the highest quality organic chocolate from Ecuador.



Santiago Peralta and Carla Barboto set out to build a business based on socially and environmentally sustainable principles to ensure that their products supported the well being of the land and the community around it. Combining a passion for sustainable business and a commitment to preserving the native Arriba Nacional cacao, they developed Pacari Chocolate - the first single-origin organic chocolate made entirely in Ecuador.
After working with cacao growers and studying European chocolate-making techniques, they developed local production capability to create a fine chocolate with the best flavor and texture possible. An essential ingredient is being involved in the entire process - from working directly with the cacao growers to designing the packaging, and in every step in between. Pacari works in small batches using carefully selected ingredients to bring you an exquisite chocolate experience.


Pacari chocolate is created from one of nature´s greatest treasures - the cacao bean. The word Pacari means "nature" in Quechua, an indigenous language of Ecuador. The name was chosen to evoke all that our chocolate is about: the best products from the earth, 100% natural and 100% Ecuadorian.


Pacari continues to seek out innovative ways to offer the best of the Arriba Nacional cacao, which began with the Raw Chocolate line, and will continue with a new way to enjoy the whole bean. Stay tuned!
