'OURO' means 'gold' in Portuguese. This deliciously smooth chocolate bar gets its name from the golden-headed lion tamarin.

The cocoa we use comes from the habitat of the golden-headed lion tamarin in Sul da Bahia, Brazil. The only place on earth where this species lives. Due to deforestation, the habitat is threatened and so is this monkey. All the more important to pay a good price for the cocoa, so that the farmers can apply the right practices to maintain or restore the forest in harmony. Cocoa is grown here in 'cabrucas', traditional cocoa plantations, where cocoa grows in the shade of forest and other fruit trees.

With the sale of Ouro we support the research project Bio Brasil. This project studies the monkeys and works with producers to grow cocoa sustainably in harmony with the forest, whereby the farmer also makes a profit from the cocoa cultivation.

We donate 0.25 euro/bar to the research project.
