Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate
Quality from beginning to end
No two cocoa beans are the same yet everyone wants their chocolate products and applications to be consistently delicious.
Many factors affect the quality of the final product. It is why we have our own people present throughout the chain, from the buying of the beans to the final delivery of our cocoa and chocolate products, ensuring the high quality that people expect from us.
From crop to consumer
Our extensive cocoa-sourcing operations enable us to buy early in the supply chain where the best quality is available.
Once the beans have been checked they are then delivered to our warehouses. From there they are transported for further processing to our ultra-modern factories situated in the local cocoa producing country or in the main consuming market.
Our passion for detail can be found in all our plants – whether in our new high-tech cocoa facility in Ghana or in our state-of-the-art fillings and coatings factory in Deventer.
We have the ability to preserve the sensitive properties of the cocoa bean throughout the process due to our meticulous care and expertise. This enables our customers to choose from a wide selection of products, ranging from the purity of single origin chocolate to the complexity of intricate flavors and colors that characterizes our fillings and coatings.
Quality is key
To ensure a consistently high quality of cocoa we take a sample from every bag of beans that enters our upcountry buying stations.
We check for size, moisture content, fermentation level, fat content and pH to make certain that the beans are within specification and conform to our stringent quality standards.
