Varieties

Read more about our varieties

Mayan Red

Mayan Red was our first signature variety. It was created from rare mother trees found deep in the jungles of Honduras, near 3,000 year-old Mayan settlements. Its cacao pods and the resulting chocolate possess a deep reddish hue.

Tuma Yellow

An exceptionally complex flavour profile opens with delicate notes of bananas, peaches, dried apricots, ripe yellow fruits
then transitions into floral notes and fresh walnuts

Nica Brown

Deep in the jungles of Nicaragua is a small riverside town called Quilile. It was here, in 2007, that we selected the mother tree of our third variety of cacao, Nica Brown.

Cacao cultivation

Re-thinking cacao

Cacao is a fruit. And as such, we believe in cultivating it for flavor. Our quest began 18 years ago, with an expedition to find our One Perfect Fruit. The one that embodied the rich complexity and explosive flavor we had been dreaming of.

We finally found it deep in the jungles of Latin America. This fruit would become the origin of the Xoco Universe, and the source of our three unique varieties.

Grafting for flavor

We are the only chocolate producer that grows their own fruit—and the only one that grafts for flavor. Our bespoke process replicates the specific plant DNA that determines Xoco’s unique flavor signature.

Cacao cultivation

Growing the flavor

Since 2006, our nursery in Nicaragua has raised 1.5M+ baby trees. This means our flavor signature is guaranteed for the future. Thanks to our proprietary grafting technique, our fruit’s DNA and flavor remain unchanged, no matter where our cacao is planted.
