Sauce & Stock Bases

We represent two of the finest chocolate brands in the world. Both are family-operated and with strong beliefs and practice in ensuring that consumers and foodservice get to enjoy and use the best chocolate products in the world.

One company, Domori, was established inthe early 1990s whilst the other, Dagoba Organic Chcolate, is a relatively young company set up on 2001. Although set up in different times, both companies are distinguished by their commitment and dedication to make very fine and top quality chocolate.

Welcome to the truly passionate world of gourmet chocolate!

"My adventure in cocoa plantations started in 1993. The year after i took up the challenge, I wandered from the East to the West trying to understand...........the first times I fermented a few fistfuls of cocoa beans without any results.............I roasted a few varietals in usual pans.............I ground cocoa beans in a mincer..........I slept on a bed of dew and fed on the wind.......but maybe it was my karma........to turn a stormy ocean into a tidy garden.

In the plantations they used to call me the hidalgo of cacao and I took this nickname over. I am just a humble server of cacao, and this is my real mission: to help flavour cacao cheange its History."

Finest Quality Ingredients

Frederick Schilling, the founder of Dagoba Organic Chocolate, knows that using the finest quality ingredients is the basic essential to yield the best results. Coupled with the sensitivities and skills of a chef, he elevated the tastes and flavour platforms of the chocolate.

As he started to research more about the chocolate industry, it became very clear that the importance of supporting sustainable grown cacao farms was intrinsic to the health of the rainforests and also in encouraging the growth of rare and dying breeds of the cacao.

"Most of the chocolate on the market is made froma variety of cacao named "forestero". It is a very strong strain that is resistant to disease, therefore making it easier to grow and with better yields. However, the flavour of these beans isn't ideal for the specialty chocolate trade. As these beans have more acidic and bitter notes, more sugar needs to be added to the chocolate to mask the perceived undesirable flavours".

Dagoba chose to use the strains of cacao known as "flavour beans". These offer more delicate notes and softer flavours, BUT are harder to grow, and are not being replanted or supported by cacao farming communities at large. Schilling believes that if true chocolate is to be kept in existence, the makers of chocolate must support the farmers financially, by paying a premium, so that they will take the extra effort and frow the quality varieties of cacao.

Dagoba Organic Chocolate is family owned and operated, and manufactures everything in small batches at its 100% organic facility that is powered entirely by renewal energy. The Company is leading the industry into new realms and uncharted flavour landscapes. Dagoba's commitment to its customers and the environment has led it to quickly become the highest regarded organic chocolate in the world.
