Did you know that there's a connection between vanilla and cacao?
ChocoSol says: These vanilla vines grow on, and amongst the forest garden cacao trees from where ChocoSol sources cacao. The concept of 'forest gardens' that support clean soil, healthy plants and bio-diversity, are central to our mission and vision of providing ethically sourced, sustainable cacao foods.
