Plucked from organic trees in the Peruvian Amazon and Ecuadorian Coast, Alter Eco cacao beans journey to the base of the Andes Mountains, where they are transformed into some of the world's finest cocoa products. The final destination is Switzerland, where expert chocolatiers craft our unique and habit-forming bars. Alter Eco is a values-based brand of specialty food products that brings sustainable, delicious, exotic, and healthy ingredients from around the world to people here in the United States and Canada for their delight and enjoyment, while directly benefiting farming communities in the Global South. Directly from the farmers, Alter Eco brings food products that capture distinct attributes of various regions around the world including ancient supergrain Royal Quinoa from the Bolivian Andes, heirloom Jasmine Rice from Northern and East Thailand, Amazon-grown and Swiss-made dark chocolate bars, and unrefined ground Mascobado cane sugar from The Philippines.
