Pascati is as excited about creating dark chocolate as you are about having them. Which is why, globally accepted stringent quality standards are set for every bean and ingredient that goes into a Pascati chocolate. In this commitment to sustainable sourcing, they have their practices certified to become India's first Fairtrade chocolate brand.
Pascati sources its Fairtrade-certified cacao beans from Manarcadu Social Service Society (MASS), directly contributing to the growth and prosperity of small-scale farmers. To enhance productivity and income, MASS is utilizing the Fairtrade Premium to establish a cocoa tree sapling nursery, ensuring farmers have access to high-quality plants for sustainable cultivation. This initiative helps farmers increase yields, improve soil health, and secure long-term economic stability. Workers like Nimisha, who tend to the nursery, play a crucial role in nurturing the next generation of cocoa trees. Through this ethical sourcing model, Pascati supports fair wages, sustainable farming, and community development, ensuring that every chocolate bar carries a positive impact from farm to consumer.
