ÖKO – Caribe S.R.L. is a Dominican company focused on the trade of agricultural goods—most notably, fine-quality cacao—since April 2006. From the beginning, its founders set out with a clear mission: to deliver exceptional products that meet and surpass global quality expectations, while fostering ethical and sustainable farming practices that benefit both the growers and the international market.
With this vision, ÖKO – Caribe has proudly maintained both organic and UTZ certifications since 2007, demonstrating a firm commitment to responsible production.
The company was established by Mr. Gualberto Acebey Torrejón and Mr. Adriano De Jesús Rodríguez, two professionals with over two decades of hands-on experience in cultivating, refining, and marketing premium organic cacao. Their expertise comes from years of service in reputable international organizations across several Latin American countries.
The cacao farmers associated with ÖKO Caribe are grouped into local cooperatives, which enables effective knowledge sharing, coordinated harvesting, and streamlined logistics. Thanks to this structure, the freshly picked cocoa beans are transported to the fermentation facility in under six hours—a critical step in ensuring optimal fermentation and, ultimately, producing cocoa of outstanding flavor and quality.
