We sell directly to chocolate makers of all sizes. Zorzal sells directly to clients who order 1/2 a metric tonne (7 bags) or more and have partnered with Meridian Cacao for smaller orders. If you are interested in placing an order with us, please contact info@zorzalcacao.com. We can walk you through the order process and address any questions you might have but most of your questions should be answered in the FAQ section below. If you haven’t already tasted our beans, you can request sample from our partners at Meridian Cacao. Contact Gino@meridiancacao.com.

While we are still a small operation ourselves, we strive to make sampling and ordering of larger lots a simple process. If you have any questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly here.

Ordering FAQ

Our passions for cacao, wildlife conservation, and sustainable development unite at Reserva Zorzal — a 1,019 acre bird sanctuary and organic cacao farm in the northern mountain range of the Dominican Republic. As our farm grows, we continue to plant new varietals based on feedback from international leaders in the artisan chocolate market.

In conjunction with our Zorzal Estate beans, our Zorzal Comunitario beans are sourced from agricultural partnerships with a hand-picked group of farmers bordering the Zorzal Reserve and bird sanctuary. Both Zorzal Estate and Zorzal Comunitario cacao beans are fermented and dried at the Zorzal Fermentorium in San Francisco de Macoris.

Our beans are stored in specialty warehouses in New Jersey and California.

We ship beans to the US twice a year following our summer (May/June) and winter (Nov/Dec) harvests. We typically have beans ready for shipment by August and February, respectively. While we do our best to keep beans in stock we tend to sell out quickly each season. Zorzal Cacao is offered on a first come first served basis and generally sold well in advance of arrival into the US. For this reason, we encourage interested buyers to provide us with their orders shortly after sampling our beans and well before you actually need the beans for production.

We are happy to ship our cacao internationally and can provide the necessary documentation (phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, etc). However, please note that you will be responsible for organizing the shipping from our US warehouse on international orders. We are happy to provide you with recommended logistics providers to make this process easy.

All orders are shipped on pallets and wrapped such that they are rarely damaged in transit. On occasion bags have been torn open while in transit, which is out of our control. If our cacao or the bags holding them arrive damaged or under weight, you must notify us of the damage, with appropriate documentation (i.e., photos, scale weight, etc) before you indicate acceptance of the the delivery from the shipping company. Once you notify the shipping company, please notify your Zorzal Cacao contact ASAP so that we can initiate a claims process with our insurance and/or the transport company.
