Our Story

About Kacaou

Kacaou began as a commercial brand in 2017, but our cocoa plantation was established in 2012 in Río Dulce, Izabal, Guatemala. Our family farm had been abandoned for over 20 years after the tragic loss of our father there. In 2010, we sought a fresh start in a place that had once been so special to us.

We envisioned a plantation with purpose and sustainability, leading us to cultivate cacao—a crop deeply rooted in our country’s history. Additionally, our great-grandfather founded Guatemala’s first candy factory, La Grecia, where he crafted chocolates, making cacao a part of our heritage. And so, Kacaou Farms—Food of the Gods—was born.

We are small-scale cacao producers from Guatemala and a startup specializing in cacao-based products. At Kacaou, we pride ourselves on offering 100% natural products, free from artificial additives, colors, and preservatives. Whether for making chocolate or exploring other uses of cacao, we believe in high-quality, health-conscious food.
