To identify the optimal time for harvesting cocoa pods, it is essential to ensure they are mature and ready for processing, which impacts the final quality.

Fermentation and Drying Process of Cocoa: Key to Exceptional Quality and Flavor

During fermentation, cocoa beans undergo a controlled process lasting 5 to 7 days. This process allows for the breakdown of the pulp surrounding the beans, triggering natural chemical reactions that develop the characteristic flavors and aromas of the product.

High-quality cocoa beans are selected after fermentation and drying, ensuring that only the best beans proceed to the packaging process to maintain the product’s quality.

Our Story

Where We Come From

Genearca is a family business stemming from a long lineage of coffee and cocoa producers in Manabí. It was born out of the desire to remain involved in the family enterprise but in a different way—by offering a finished product that can be consumed locally by the community and those involved in the process.

After decades of engaging in the cultivation, processing, and export of coffee and cocoa beans in the fields of Manabí, Genearca represents a bridge between generations of producers in the Pichincha canton, Manabí province, and the vision of the family patriarch, Ángel Hidrovo. In 1940, he initiated the first generation of successful coffee and cocoa merchants at the national level. Later, his son Ignacio Hidrovo Solórzano envisioned expanding the product’s reach and initiated the process of exporting the beans to various international markets.
