Domori's Chacao Organic project is about making fine chocolate with a recovered cacao variety they call "Forestino", from the Ivory Coast. The cocoa selected by Domori for this project comes from the Scay Cooperative, in the area between the villages of Toumodi, Oulaidon, Taabo and Lilebe, not far from the seashore. Most of the plantations in this area are smaller and grow the Forastino (or French) cacao variety created in the early 20th century as a hybrid of the Brazilian Amelonado and the Guaiana from French Guaiana. Some plantations even preserve and harvest traces of pure Guaiana varieties.
The plantations in the cooperative are organic certified and use only natural methods in growing their cacao. The cooperative verifies that all cocoa producers comply with these practices and it supports them with specific training and workshops.
Because of long-term supply agreements and an agreement to provide premium quality cacao, the cooperative will be able to invest in the improvement of services and infrastructure in the neighboring towns.
