High quality chocolate starts in shaded, jungle-like forests of cacao trees, so Guittard works closely with cacao growers to develop desired chocolate flavors in the beans. Growers carefully manage the health and development of the delicate trees, inspecting them regularly for any signs of diseases, such as witch's broom, black pod rot or other known diseases.
E. Guittard Chocolate is made with shade-grown cacao,
the overall quality of which is superior because the delicate
pods are protected from excessive direct sunlight during
development. Guittard's emphasis on shade-grown cacao
also means the jungle environment surrounding the cacao
is preserved.
