01 / ORIGINS

Origin is where the story begins.

L’origine est le début de l’histoire.

Côte d’Ivoire is not a backdrop to the work — it is the starting point. DTB Cocoa approaches every origin with care for the people, knowledge and seasons that give cocoa its character.
La Côte d’Ivoire n’est pas un simple décor : c’est le point de départ. DTB Cocoa aborde chaque origine avec attention pour les personnes, les savoir-faire et les saisons qui donnent son caractère au cacao.
