Ivorian craftsmanship, crafted in Montreal
Transformation Cacao Ivoire Québec Inc. is the premier Montreal micro-industry of cocoa ingredients 100% owned by Ivorians. We directly connect producers in Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana, and Madagascar with chocolatiers, pastry chefs, and food manufacturers across Quebec and Canada.
Providing Canadian artisans and manufacturers with exceptional cocoa, sourced with complete transparency.
Founded in 2021 in Montreal, Transformation Cacao Ivoire Québec Inc. was born of a passionate vision: bridging celebrated African cocoa terroirs with Canadian culinary excellence. By working directly with partner family farming cooperatives in Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana, and Madagascar without speculative intermediaries, we hand-select exceptional-grade harvests.
In our Montreal workshop, we master every processing step: custom low-temperature roasting, precision milling, mechanical pressing of pure cocoa butter, and delicate conching. This local processing ensures Canadian chocolatiers, pastry chefs, and manufacturers ingredients with unmatched aromatic freshness and consistency.
« Our mission is to offer a fair and ultra-fresh alternative to mass-market commodity imports, ensuring 100% pure cocoa butter and ingredients with irreproachable organoleptic quality. »
