ABOUT THE ORIGIN
ZORZAL COMUNITARIO
Near the Dominican Republic’s northern coast, Zorzal Cacao collects freshly harvested, unfermented cacao beans from independent smallholder farms surrounding the private bird sanctuary Reserva Zorzal (which protects the endangered Bicknell’s thrush). Beans are then fermented together, yielding a range of intriguing flavors. Sold under the name Zorzal Comunitario, the farming community’s beans help fund the Reserva’s conservation efforts. In 2023, Zorzal Cacao earned Smithsonian Bird Friendly® certification for deforestation-free, biodiversity-friendly chocolate — the first cacao farm to receive this recognition.
