Cocoa is never just a commodity. It is a season of work for a farmer, a production promise to a customer and a livelihood across an entire chain.
Our approach to responsible cocoa
Read our commitmentsAt our Akure factory, we control roasting, refining, pressing and milling to meet agreed product specifications. These controls determine cocoa liquor fineness, cake fat content and powder particle size, while limiting heat build-up during powder milling. We boast of our record for consistent product performance.
Our laboratory examines every production batch through physicochemical and microbiological testing, with checks extending from incoming raw materials to in-process and finished products. Product release brings laboratory findings together with processing, packaging and traceability records.
We operate with FSSC 22000 certification and documented GMP and HACCP controls. Halal, Kosher and Rainforest Alliance certifications support additional customer requirements. Contaminant monitoring, foreign-body prevention and controls on lubricants and packaging are part of the factory's quality programme.
