Xoco: Fine Cocoa Company

Xoco [sho-koh] is a company with the goal of producing the best flavored cocoa beans in the world. The company is located in Central America, where we have carefully selected the finest cocoa trees in the region and are reproducing them in the millions. We entrust the trees to qualified local farmers, providing them with technical assistance to succeed as cocoa producers. Once the trees begin to produce, we collect, process and export the beans. Our commitment to quality is relentless. We understand that gourmet chocolate manufacturers depend on receiving beans with specific flavor attributes, consistent quality and predictable volume. We expect to export the first commercial volumes by the end of 2010.  

The word Xoco comes from Nahuatl, the ancient Meso-American Aztec language. Cocoa was called "Xocolatl" [sho-koh-lot-uhl] and was used to make a beverage that only the nobility consumed. "Food of the Gods," they called it.
