Welcome to our store
What’s in a name? Pacari means nature in Quechua, an Andean indigenous language, and that’s what we’re all about, making the most of nature’s ingredients and protecting and defending her. Pacari is a family-owned Ecuadorian company with a simple mission: to produce the highest quality organic dark chocolate in the world in the most ethical and sustainable way possible.
DELICIOUS
To date, we have won over 300 international chocolate awards. This is because we use Arriba Nacional cacao beans. Known as “Fino de Aroma’, these Ecuadorian beans are known for their rich, full taste and their fruity and floral notes.
ETHICAL
We support families in Ecuador by working with them directly, not with middle men. We pay these farmers a significant premium over market prices to ensure they are fairly compensated for their hard work.
We produce and package our chocolate bars in Ecuador, a country where cacao beans actually grow. When chocolate is produced from ‘Tree to Bar’ this allows over 50% of the wealth to stay in the country of origin and contribute to its development.
HEALTHY
All our cacao bars are made from 60% of cacao or more. High cacao content chocolate has a number of health benefits. We also only use unrefined or coconut sugar.
We use no pesticides, harmful fertilisers or genetically modified products in any part of the supply chain, ensuring the health and well-being of consumers, cacao growers and the environment.

Sharing Pacari Chocolates with local food bank this Christmas
There are all sorts of reasons that people can fall on hard times. In many cities across the UK, people are increasingly having to turn to food banks to feed their families and yet donations are falling. We wanted to raise awareness about the increase in need for donations to food banks across the country.
We thought the best way we could help was to give directly to a local food bank and get you, our customers, involved, so you know that your order could also make a difference this Christmas.
As you can imagine quality dark chocolates like Pacari would be considered a luxury item but we would like to address that. From now until 16th December for every customer that buys 10 bars we will donate at least 1 of our award winning bars for gifting to our local Edinburgh food bank as this is where we are based. For more information on their work, visit the website http://edinburghne.foodbank.org.uk
Hopefully, we will have quite a few chocolate bars to donate by 16th December and it will be a welcome treat for those who may not be looking forward to the Christmas season.
