Every bean is grown on our family farm in Loma de los Ángeles, La Vega, Dominican Republic — in the heart of the Cibao Valley. Our grandmother Rosina founded the operation over a decade ago on former tobacco land. We are not a co-op blend or a broker resale; you are buying directly from the farm.

Trinitario/Criollo blend — a fine-flavor profile recognized by the cacao industry as among the most sought-after for craft chocolate, ceremonial paste, and specialty beverage use.

After hand-harvest, beans are naturally fermented for 5–7 days in traditional wooden boxes (with the cacao pulp), then sun-dried on raised platforms until they reach 6–7% moisture. Hand-sorted before packing. No mechanical drying, no chemical treatment, no additives. Ingredients: 100% raw cacao beans.

USDA Organic certification is in progress. We currently position our beans as ceremonial-grade single-origin while certification completes. Our practices have always been organic; we’re documenting the paperwork.

Clean cocoa base, nutty notes, mild bitterness, low acidity. The hallmark profile of a fine-flavor Trinitario/Criollo grown in Cibao Valley terroir. It works beautifully in single-origin chocolate bars, ceremonial cacao paste, cold-brew cacao, and chocolate stouts.

Start with our roasted beans (or roast our raw beans at home at 250°F for 20–30 min). Crack and peel the husk to expose the nibs. Grind nibs in a high-power blender or melanger until smooth (10–30 min depending on equipment) to make ceremonial paste. Whisk 1–1.5 oz of paste into 8 oz hot water with a pinch of cinnamon or chile to taste.

We honor the traditions of ceremonial cacao while respecting Indigenous lineages. We do not claim to teach ceremony — we provide the cacao for practitioners who do.

If a retail order arrives damaged or doesn’t meet expectations, email joselly@rosinasranchfarm.com within 14 days. We’ll make it right with a refund or replacement. Wholesale orders are non-refundable once shipped but we work to resolve quality concerns directly.
