DaVinci Gourmet’s Chocolate Sauces and Powders Are Now Rainforest Alliance Certified

From rich mochas to indulgent chocolate frappes, cocoa is at the heart of many café favourites. But have you ever wondered where that chocolate comes from?

For the most part, it comes from small, family-run farms, where how cocoa is grown affects both the farmers and the forests around them.
At DaVinci Gourmet, we believe great taste and responsible sourcing go hand in hand. That’s why our chocolate sauces and powders are now Rainforest Alliance Certified, reflecting our commitment to supporting more sustainable cocoa farming practices.

Why Responsible Cocoa Sourcing Matters

Cocoa farming faces challenges such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, and concerns around working conditions and farmer livelihoods. Many cocoa farmers are smallholders who face economic pressures and the growing effects of climate change.

Rainforest Alliance Certification promotes more sustainable agricultural practices, with standards covering environmental protection, human rights, and farming community livelihoods.

By sourcing Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa for our chocolate sauces and powders, DaVinci Gourmet is taking a meaningful step towards supporting a more sustainable future for cocoa.

Why It Matters for Your Business

Consumers are increasingly interested in the ingredients behind the beverages they enjoy.

A Kerry-commissioned study across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa found that 83% of consumers preferred a drink made with Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa over one made with uncertified cocoa.
For cafés and beverage businesses, responsible sourcing offers an opportunity to connect with these consumer preferences while creating memorable beverage experiences.
With DaVinci Gourmet’s Rainforest Alliance Certified chocolate sauces and powders, beverage professionals can continue crafting their favourite chocolate creations, from classic mochas to decadent frappes, while sharing a story that goes beyond flavour.

Bringing Responsible Sourcing to Every Cup

Every great beverage starts with great ingredients, and the story behind them matters, too.
We believe sustainability is an ongoing journey that requires collective effort. Through Rainforest Alliance Certification for our chocolate sauces and powders, DaVinci Gourmet is reinforcing its commitment to supporting more sustainable cocoa farming practices.
