Iwo cocoa beans mature slowly in natural agroforestry systems—alongside cassava, corn, plantains, and yams. This multi-species cultivation protects the soil, preserves biodiversity, and gives the beans a unique, stable flavor profile.
The cocoa comes from small family farms that have been cultivating it using traditional, handcrafted methods for generations. The beans are carefully fermented for 5–6 days and then sun-dried for 6–8 days, ensuring they retain their full aroma and natural properties.
