Paccari

Paccari is an Ecuadorian chocolate company that has set new standards in the world of fine chocolate. Founded in Quito in 2002 by Santiago Peralta and Carla Barboto, Paccari—meaning "nature" in the Kichwa language—is more than a brand; it is a philosophy that unites quality, ethics, and deep respect for the earth.

From the very beginning, Paccari has been committed to producing 100% organic chocolate, free from milk, soy, gluten, chemicals, and GMOs. Their "tree to bar" model ensures full control over every step of the process—from cultivating the prized Nacional cacao to the final product.

Paccari was the first chocolate maker in Ecuador to receive Demeter biodynamic certification, and their dedication to sustainability is reflected in the use of biodegradable plant-based packaging. Their chocolates are vegan and celebrated for innovative flavors inspired by local ingredients such as Andean rose, passion fruit, pink salt from Cuzco, and chili.
