le fondateur de Kaoka - arrive en \u00c9quateur. C'\u00e9tait Gilles Roche, alors co-directeur du projet pour la relance de la production et l'am\u00e9lioration de la qualit\u00e9 du cacao \u00e9quatorien, qui l'avait contact\u00e9 et l'avait invit\u00e9 \u00e0 se rendre dans le pays aux cabosses d'or, l'\u00c9quateur. Gilles Roche connaissait la d\u00e9marche et la philosophie d'Andr\u00e9 Deberdt et sa passion pour le cacao aromatique. <strong>Il n'en fallait pas plus pour \u00e9veiller la curiosit\u00e9 d'Andr\u00e9 Deberdt.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nC'est Wilson Montoya - aujourd'hui responsable technique \u00e0 la CECAB coop\u00e9rative partenaire de Kaoka - qui l'a accueilli sur le sol \u00e9quatorien. Wilson Montoya parlait espagnol et peu d'anglais et Andr\u00e9 Deberdt parlait fran\u00e7ais et anglais : les premiers \u00e9changes se sont faits avec beaucoup de signes et peu de mots. Mais quelle importance ? <strong>Le cacao Nacional parla pour eux. Les ar\u00f4mes de cette vari\u00e9t\u00e9 exceptionnelle ont imm\u00e9diatement conquis Andr\u00e9.

Il se distingue des autres cacaos par ses notes florales caract\u00e9ristiques, comme le jasmin ou la rose. Son profil aromatique rare et pr\u00e9cieux est mondialement reconnu par les amateurs de chocolat.\r\n<h2>Pourquoi le cacao Nacional \u00e9tait-il menac\u00e9 ?<\/h2>\r\nLe cacao Nacional \u00e9tait menac\u00e9 pour plusieurs raisons, notamment les <strong>maladies<\/strong>, le <strong>vieillissement des plantations<\/strong>\u00a0et la concurrence avec des vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de cacao hybrides plus r\u00e9sistantes et productives.\r\n\r\nAu d\u00e9but du 20\u00e8me si\u00e8cle, l\u2019arriv\u00e9e massive de maladies telle que la monilose et le balai de sorci\u00e8re ont profond\u00e9ment affect\u00e9 la production de cacao Nacional. La plupart des grandes exploitations de cacao sont alors reconverties en bananeraies. <strong>La production de cacao Nacional en \u00c9quateur baisse significativement<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nEn parall\u00e8le, au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 90, afin de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 un besoin de culture intensive, le CCN-51 (vari\u00e9t\u00e9 de cacao hybride de qualit\u00e9 organoleptique de moindre qualit\u00e9) est massivement plant\u00e9. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 m\u00e9lang\u00e9 au Cacao Nacional et la qualit\u00e9 aromatique du cacao \u00e9quatorien s'est d\u00e9grad\u00e9e progressivement.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13854\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"768\"]<img class=\"wp-image-13854 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/un-cacaoyer-cabosses-cacao-nacional-equateur.jpg\" alt=\"Un cacaoyer et des cabosses de cacao nacional en \u00c9quateur\" width=\"768\" height=\"342\" \/> Des cabosses de cacao Nacional qui poussent directement sur le tronc d'un cacaoyer en \u00c9quateur.[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Qu'est-ce que le CCN-51 ?<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13885\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Carte-identite-CCN-51.jpg\" alt=\"Carte identit\u00e9 du CCN-51\" width=\"1080\" height=\"480\" \/>\r\n\r\nLe CCN-51 est <strong>une vari\u00e9t\u00e9 hybride de cacao<\/strong> r\u00e9sultant du croisement de plusieurs vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de cacao. Cette vari\u00e9t\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 mise au point par l'agronome \u00e9quatorien Homero Castro. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 introduite en \u00c9quateur pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la pression croissante d'augmentation de production de cacao.\r\n\r\nLe CCN-51 est souvent choisi pour sa <strong>productivit\u00e9<\/strong> sup\u00e9rieure par rapport aux vari\u00e9t\u00e9s traditionnelles comme le cacao Nacional. Il pousse rapidement, r\u00e9siste mieux \u00e0 certaines maladies du cacao et offre des rendements plus importants, ce qui en fait un choix attractif pour les agriculteurs cherchant \u00e0 optimiser leur production. Mais cette vari\u00e9t\u00e9 hybride est aussi vivement critiqu\u00e9e, car elle serait <strong>plus gourmande en eau et en engrais<\/strong> que les vari\u00e9t\u00e9s traditionnelles.

Mais il voulait acheter le cacao directement aupr\u00e8s des producteurs et il voulait un cacao de la meilleure qualit\u00e9 pour les chocolats Kaoka\u00ae. Il y rencontra une coop\u00e9rative de producteurs qui cultivaient le fameux cacao aromatique Nacional. Cependant, ces derniers \u00e9taient alors confront\u00e9s \u00e0 des r\u00e9coltes qui s'affaiblissaient d'ann\u00e9e en ann\u00e9e. Cette baisse des r\u00e9coltes ne permettait plus aux producteurs de b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier de revenus satisfaisants.\r\n\r\nEn effet, leurs plantations \u00e9taient vieillissantes et devaient improductives, mettant en p\u00e9ril les revenus de ces familles de producteurs.\r\n\r\nSoutenu par l\u2019Union Europ\u00e9enne, un projet ambitieux de sauvegarde du cacao Nacional \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 lanc\u00e9 en \u00c9quateur et c'est \u00e0 la suite de ce projet que la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/les-filieres\/equateur\/\">fili\u00e8re \u00e9quatorienne de Kaoka<\/a> s\u2019est construite.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yDj0kg6eAAE\r\n\r\n<em>T\u00e9moignage d'Andr\u00e9 Deberdt, fondateur de Kaoka : \u00ab Si on ne s'attaque pas rapidement \u00e0 r\u00e9habiliter et \u00e0 redensifier, et bien dans 10 ans il n'y a plus de cacao Nacional d'\u00c9quateur\u00bb.<\/em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>S\u00e9lectionner les meilleurs arbres de cacao Nacional<\/h3>\r\nAndr\u00e9 Deberdt est parti \u00e0 la rencontre des producteurs pour identifier avec eux les arbres avec du \"sang Nacional\" les plus r\u00e9sistants, les plus productifs et les plus aromatiques. L'enjeu est double : sauvegarder le cacao Nacional et am\u00e9liorer les revenus des producteurs. En effet, Pour Kaoka, la culture du cacao Nacional ne pouvait perdurer que si elle \u00e9tait r\u00e9mun\u00e9ratrice pour les producteurs. Dans ce projet, il \u00e9tait indispensable que chacun soit gagnant.\r\n\r\nCe travail de recherche agronomique a dur\u00e9 pendant 5 ans.

And remember, cocoa is one of the main ingredients in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/lactualite-de-kaoka\/quelle-est-la-composition-du-chocolat\/\">chocolate<\/a>.\r\n\r\nCocoa is affected by deforestation because it is grown in tropical areas and in countries where the forests were, until now, little protected. At the same time, the growing demand for chocolate in Western countries has encouraged the felling of forest plots for cocoa plantations.\r\n\r\nIt is estimated that the development of cocoa farming has led to <strong>the deforestation of around 2.5 million hectares<\/strong> since the early 1990s, in the 4 main cocoa-producing countries: C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Ghana, Indonesia and Nigeria.\r\n\r\n<em>Source: Cocoa certification and the fight against deforestation - CIRAD February 2021<\/em>\r\n<h2>Cocoa and pioneer fronts<\/h2>\r\nLike many other crops, cocoa farming has developed along pioneering front lines.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/schema-front-pionnier-cacao.jpg\" alt=\"Diagram of a pioneer front\" width=\"768\" height=\"231\" \/>\r\n\r\nThis phenomenon of pioneering conquest of tropical forests is unfortunately exacerbated by the falling productivity of existing plantations and the resulting low remuneration of growers.\r\n\r\nThis is a vicious circle, because once the forest is felled, the soil on this bare land rapidly becomes impoverished. The soil is a reserve of resources and nutrients that is essential for trees and their development. In poor soil, the trees health and growing are impacted and the plantation becomes less productive. Without sufficient harvests, growers are forced to extend their cultivation areas into forested areas.

Il est donc meilleur pour la sant\u00e9 de la plan\u00e8te et des hommes.<\/strong> Pour Kaoka, un cacao bio ne donne pas forc\u00e9ment un bon chocolat ! <strong>Pour fabriquer un chocolat de qualit\u00e9, cela n\u00e9cessite un vrai savoir-faire.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n1. <strong>La s\u00e9lection des terroirs et des vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de cacao cultiv\u00e9es<\/strong>\r\n\r\nKaoka travaille en partenariat avec des producteurs qui cultivent des vari\u00e9t\u00e9s traditionnelles, \u00e0 haut potentiel aromatique. Par exemple en \u00c9quateur, Kaoka a mis en place un important projet de sauvegarde du cacao Nacional, une vari\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019exception end\u00e9mique, qui se distingue pour ses qualit\u00e9s aromatiques uniques et qui \u00e9tait alors menac\u00e9e.\r\n\r\n2. <strong>La ma\u00eetrise de la fermentation (comme pour le vin) et du s\u00e9chage<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDepuis la r\u00e9colte jusqu'\u00e0 l'exportation, Kaoka a tout organis\u00e9 pour le cacao soit valoris\u00e9 dans les meilleures conditions. La fermentation est une \u00e9tape cruciale dans le d\u00e9veloppement des ar\u00f4mes du cacao. Kaoka a \u00e9tabli un protocole pr\u00e9cis pour obtenir les meilleurs ar\u00f4mes possibles.\r\n\r\n3. <strong>La recette<\/strong>\r\n\r\nKaoka a fait le choix de valoriser les ar\u00f4mes naturels du cacao avec des recettes riches en p\u00e2tes de cacao. Le beurre de cacao n'est ajout\u00e9 que pour ajouter une touche de fondant sans risquer de voiler le palais. Le sucre est justement dos\u00e9.\r\n\r\nKaoka a choisi de construire ses propres fili\u00e8res et de travailler en direct avec les producteurs pour ma\u00eetriser chacune de ces \u00e9tapes et ne rien laisser au hasard.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/chocolat-bio-equitable-pause-gouter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/>\r\n<h3>Un chocolat bio est-il forc\u00e9ment \u00e9quitable ?<\/h3>\r\nDans un monde id\u00e9al, la r\u00e9ponse devrait \u00eatre oui ! Prendre soin de l'environnement sans prendre soin des hommes et des femmes qui cultivent le cacao, a-t-il vraiment du sens?\r\n\r\nPour Kaoka, l'un ne va pas sans l'autre. Pour Kaoka, le choix de la bio s\u2019inscrit dans une d\u00e9marche vertueuse pour tous : une agriculture respectueuse de l\u2019environnement, une agriculture r\u00e9mun\u00e9ratrice pour le producteur et des produits \u00e9thiques de qualit\u00e9 pour les consommateurs. Forte de ses 30 ans d\u2019exp\u00e9rience, l'entreprise a prouv\u00e9 qu'il \u00e9tait possible de b\u00e2tir un mod\u00e8le durable tant pour la plan\u00e8te que pour les hommes.\r\n\r\nEn s'appuyant sur l'\u00e9change et sur des relations fid\u00e8les et durables avec les cacaoculteurs, Kaoka a repens\u00e9 le mod\u00e8le agricole en proposant des solutions agronomiques pertinentes aux cacaoculteurs. Les projets mis en place depuis de nombreuses ann\u00e9es permettent une am\u00e9lioration des rendements, b\u00e9n\u00e9fique tant pour les producteurs que pour Kaoka. Coupl\u00e9e \u00e0 un prix sup\u00e9rieur \u00e0 celui du march\u00e9, leurs producteurs partenaires voient leurs revenus s'am\u00e9liorer d'ann\u00e9e en ann\u00e9e.\r\n\r\nC'est cette vision du commerce \u00e9quitable que Kaoka d\u00e9fend et qui permet de r\u00e9duire les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s sociales et les impacts environnementaux n\u00e9gatifs engendr\u00e9s par le commerce conventionnel.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Si mon chocolat est bio, est-ce qu\u2019il pr\u00e9serve l\u2019environnement ?<\/h3>\r\nUn chocolat bio pr\u00e9serve l'environnement dans le sens o\u00f9 son mode de production agricole n'utilise ni engrais chimique de synth\u00e8se, ni pesticide, ni herbicide chimique, ni fertilisant artificiel ou hormone de croissance et ni OGM. Vous avez sans doute vu \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9 ou dans les m\u00e9dias que la culture du cacao participe \u00e0 la d\u00e9forestation? En effet, dans certaines zones du monde, c\u2019est le cas, et la certification bio ne garantit pas, h\u00e9las, une absence de d\u00e9forestation. Or, nous connaissons tous les impacts n\u00e9fastes de la d\u00e9forestation sur l'environnement.\r\n<h4>Zoom sur la lutte contre la d\u00e9forestation men\u00e9e par Kaoka<\/h4>\r\nAu P\u00e9rou, en Colombie et en \u00c9quateur, depuis les ann\u00e9es 90, les \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes forestiers locaux disparaissent face \u00e0 l\u2019expansion rapide des terres \u00e0 usage agricole. Appauvris par la d\u00e9forestation et la culture intensive, les sols deviennent improductifs et ne permettent plus d'assurer des revenus suffisants.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9162\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Lutte-contre-deforestation-cacao-1200x556.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"556\" \/>\r\n\r\nChez Kaoka, la bio appartient \u00e0 une d\u00e9marche globale. Nous avons nos propres fili\u00e8res et travaillons de mani\u00e8re rapproch\u00e9e avec les producteurs. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 cette proximit\u00e9, nous les sensibilisons sur les questions de d\u00e9forestation et surtout nous leur apportons des solutions concr\u00e8tes pour qu'ils puissent am\u00e9liorer leurs revenus sans avoir \u00e0 sacrifier leurs for\u00eats pour de la production agricole. Nous leur donnons acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des p\u00e9pini\u00e8res de plants de cacao r\u00e9sistants et productifs, nous les accompagnons dans la restauration de leurs sols, nous mettons en place des syst\u00e8mes agroforestiers performants. Parce que nous avons des engagements forts avec nos partenaires producteurs, ils sont pr\u00eats \u00e0 s'engager de leur c\u00f4t\u00e9 en signant des accords de conservation des for\u00eats. C'est l'ensemble de cette d\u00e9marche qui permet \u00e0 Kaoka de garantir des chocolats z\u00e9ro d\u00e9forestation.\r\n\r\nQui plus est, la question de la d\u00e9forestation est un crit\u00e8re \"ko\" de la certification Fair for Life, v\u00e9rifi\u00e9 lors des audits annuels par Ecocert.\r\n\r\nL'observation des zones foresti\u00e8res est un v\u00e9ritable enjeu dans la lutte contre la d\u00e9forestation. Il permet de suivre leur \u00e9volution et d'assurer le maintien des for\u00eats. C'est pour cette raisons que nous avons g\u00e9or\u00e9f\u00e9renc\u00e9 l'ensemble des plantations (la digitalisation des polygones \u00e9tant en cours de finalisation) et au P\u00e9rou, nous sommes en train de mettre en place un suivi par t\u00e9l\u00e9d\u00e9tection du couvert v\u00e9g\u00e9tal.\r\n\r\nEn plus de cela, Kaoka m\u00e8ne d\u2019autres initiatives comme la cr\u00e9ation de corridors de biodiversit\u00e9 entre les zones de cultures, le reboisement des rives pour limiter l\u2019\u00e9rosion, la redensification des plantations.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Chocolat-bio-pas-cher-kaoka-1200x556.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"556\" \/>\r\n<h3>Le chocolat bio et \u00e9thique, c\u2019est forc\u00e9ment plus cher ?<\/h3>\r\nLa question du prix est toujours complexe car elle d\u00e9pend de nombreux facteurs ! Pour faire simple, le prix d'un chocolat d\u00e9pend du prix de revient, de la marge du fabricant et de celle du distributeur\/magasin.\r\n\r\nKaoka a un prix de revient plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 puisque l'entreprise a fait le choix de mieux r\u00e9mun\u00e9rer les producteurs, et ainsi am\u00e9liorer leurs conditions de vie. Cependant, elle le compense par des marges raisonnables par souci de rendre le chocolat bio et \u00e9thique accessible \u00e0 un maximum de personnes.\r\n\r\nUn chocolat bio et \u00e9quitable, qui respecte tous les acteurs de la cha\u00eene, aura de plus grandes chances d'\u00eatre plus cher qu'un chocolat conventionnel.\r\n\r\nLe pouvoir d'achat permet de choisir le monde de demain. Acheter bio et \u00e9quitable est un acte solidaire.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Est-ce qu\u2019on peut \u00eatre s\u00fbr que le cacao bio l\u2019est vraiment ?<\/h3>\r\nUn cacao bio est un cacao qui r\u00e9pond \u00e0 des exigences strictes, encadr\u00e9es par la r\u00e9glementation europ\u00e9enne. Pour commercialiser du cacao ou du chocolat bio, tout op\u00e9rateur est contr\u00f4l\u00e9 par un organisme certificateur agr\u00e9\u00e9 par les pouvoirs publics.\r\n\r\nIl faut savoir que la r\u00e9glementation bio impose aux acteurs bio une obligation de moyens et non de r\u00e9sultats. En effet, les plantations des producteurs bio ne poussent pas sous une bulle. Si le producteur bio n'a pas recours \u00e0 certains intrants chimiques, des plantations environnantes peuvent les utiliser et risquer de contaminer la production bio, avec des traces de r\u00e9sidus chimiques.\r\n\r\nC'est pourquoi Kaoka a mis en place des mesures pr\u00e9ventives pour \u00e9viter le risque de contaminations crois\u00e9es : des haies v\u00e9g\u00e9talis\u00e9es sont implant\u00e9es pour faire barri\u00e8re, des \u00e9quipes de socio-techniciens sensibilisent les producteurs sur le sujet et apportent leur soutien technique, un r\u00e9seau de communication a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en place pour informer et permettre la fermeture des s\u00e9choirs solaires lorsqu'un risque a \u00e9t\u00e9 rep\u00e9r\u00e9. De plus, les containers de cacao de Kaoka sont analys\u00e9s \u00e0 r\u00e9ception. Les lots de cacao qui ne r\u00e9pondent pas aux exigences sont d\u00e9class\u00e9s.\r\n\r\nConsommer bio est un acte militant. Pour r\u00e9sumer, plus nombreux seront les consommateurs qui choisiront de manger bio, moindre sera l'utilisation de produits chimiques dans le monde. En privil\u00e9giant la bio, l'environnement et la sant\u00e9 des humains seront de plus en plus prot\u00e9g\u00e9s.\r\n<h4>Zoom sur les certifications<\/h4>\r\nLes chocolats Kaoka sont certifi\u00e9es biologiques par Ecocert et labellis\u00e9es \u00e9quitables par Biopartenaire selon le r\u00e9f\u00e9rentiel Fair For Life (FFL), contr\u00f4l\u00e9 par l\u2019organisme tiers Ecocert. Ces certifications constituent une garantie des actions de Kaoka au regard des consommateurs. Mais Kaoka va bien au-del\u00e0 de ces r\u00e9f\u00e9rentiels et porte encore plus loin ses engagements sur le terrain.","post_title":"5 id\u00e9es re\u00e7ues sur le cacao et le chocolat bio","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"5-idees-recues-sur-le-cacao-et-le-chocolat-bio","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-03-31 15:09:23","post_modified_gmt":"2026-03-31 15:09:23","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/lactualite-de-kaoka\/\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"_thumbnail_id":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kaoka | Professional couverture Dark Chocolate 72% - Ecuador - Organic Fair Trade<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover our Ecuadorian pure couverture dark chocolate from the National cocoa variety: Forastero.
