Maraná was born from our passion for Peruvian cocoa, from our commitment to the people who dedicate their work and lives to it, and from our desire to make the best chocolates.
For many years, the vast majority of farmers who today cultivate cocoa were limited to planting coca leaves as it was the only option for survival. Later, in the 1990s, an effective alternative crop program to coca leaves was introduced, among which was cocoa. Since then, these brave farmers decided to become protagonists of a great change and began to plant cocoa on their lands, thus transforming not only their lives but the course of the country.
At Maraná, we want to be part of that revolution, which is why we apply fair pricing policies that value the work of cocoa farmers and generate a real impact on their lives and those of their families.
We work hand in hand with them, generating programs aimed at improving their harvesting and post-harvest techniques and optimizing the quality of their products, allowing them to access higher value markets. Their progress is our progress.
Our Roots
At Maraná, we are a team that has a great passion for making the best chocolate, and we are convinced that our work starts in the field, which is why we take care of every detail of the process to have the best cocoa in our workshop.
That is why we work with the finest selection of Peruvian cocoa beans from Cusco, Piura, and San Martín. Their flavors will surprise you!
We produce our chocolate in small artisanal batches, where each batch is worked on in a unique and special way to bring out the flavors of the cocoa in our chocolate.
We understand that flavor must be accompanied by a delicate and elegant texture, which is why our refining, conching, and tempering process has a rigorous quality control that ensures each of our tablets provides a unique flavor experience on your palate, transporting you to the “Roots of Peruvian Chocolate.”
We are a 100% Certified Organic Company
Maraná's commitment extends to the environment and the health of our customers, which is why we use 100% organic ingredients in the production of all our chocolates.
The result is felt in the fresh and intense flavors and aromas of our tablets, which transport us to the origin of it all, our cocoa.
