This bean is sourced from Ucayali River Cacao, located near Pucallpa, Ucayali, Peru. Until recently this area has not been known for fine cacao, but due to the efforts of USAID and Alianza Cacao of Peru there are farmers that are abandoning coca production for Cacao, Coffee and Oil Palm. URC is working with USAID and Alianza Cacao of Peru to purchase raw material from farmers at prices above the market, helping these farmers earn a legitimate income rather than returning to coca production while producing a high quality fine cacao.
