NORANDINO FARMERS
Norandino is an agricultural cooperative, focussed on local Peruvian produce such as coffee and cacao. They strives to improve social, economic and environmental responsibility in all their products and processes. The production area covers the coast, mountains and jungle of northern Peru, in the departments of Piura, Tumbes, Amazonas, Cajamarca, Lambayeque and San Martín.
The cacao beans are sourced from the villages Palmas, Puerta Palache and Las Lomas in the San Lorenzo Valley. Part of the greater Piura Vally Peru. The terroir can be defined as dry forrest with just a few months of rain in the year. The cacao trees are nourished with water from the Andes mountains.
At Norandino the farmers ferment the beans between 6 to 8 days in wooden boxes. After the fermentation the beans are dried in the sun and packed to be shipped to the Netherlands.

EXCEPTIONAL CRAFT
A variety of in-house developed techniques is used to craft the unique Heinde & Verre chocolate. The cacao beans of one single farmer are handselected and roasted in multiple ways to bring out as many flavours as possible.
ONE BAR FOR NOW, ONE BAR FOR LATER
Each Heinde & Verre box contains 2 bars, one bar for now, one for later. At Heinde & Verre we take chocolate and your enjoyment very serious. Quality chocolate needs to be protected so we have developed the perfect packaging to preserve all the natural flavours. A kraft pouch protects against light, humidity, dust and dirt. A double air tight seal protects against odours. We have extracted part of the air to reduce oxidisation and moisture.
