	Our Beans     Beans used for the production of El Ceibo’s fine chocolates are grown by the farmers of El Ceibo in Alto Beni. After careful selection, they are then fermented and dried at El Ceibo’s facilities in Sapecho under close supervision of El Ceibo’s technical staff. Farmers also ferment and dry their product on their plots. El Ceibo’s technical staff periodically visits the farmers to assure a quality treatment of beans after harvesting. 90% of the whole production of the 1200 families is fermented and dried by the producers themselves in their farm. Only 10% of the total cocoa beans produced annually is fermented and dried in the technical center of Sapecho, under strict supervision. The producers select the best of these 10% for the production of the export fine chocolate range. After the beans are fermented and dried, they are transported to La Paz on an incredible journey through some of the world’s most dangerous roads.
