So now we need to reach the 200% in order to buy the two machines. We count on you!</strong></p><p>Ara Chocolat&nbsp;is a bean-to-bar craft chocolate maker located in Paris, that makes bars, pralines and bonbons using mostly organic ingredients. We buy the cacao beans directly to small farmers and cooperatives in Central and South America.</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/483709/div_blue-1517566315.jpg" /></p><p>We are launching this crowdfunding campaign to buy 2 machines, that will make a real difference: they will help us increase our production capacity, which will lead to buying more cacao and having a bigger impact on our cocoa growers incomes.&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>Their work deserves to be paid at a fair price!</strong></em></p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/481626/IMG_3579-1516902763.JPG" /></p><p>Upala, Costa Rica (May&nbsp;2017)</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/481628/21765767_870931623060521_4616248005820416512_o-1516902846.jpg" /><br />Tumaco, Colombia&nbsp;(September&nbsp;2017)</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/483710/div_orange-1517566674.jpg" /></p><p><u><strong>CACAO&nbsp;:</strong></u></p><p>The cacao diversity is really vast. Each variety has different aromas and notes, and once they are transformed into chocolate, they will make you embark on a sensorial journey that will take you to the country were they come from.&nbsp;That is why we are always looking for heirloom varieties and encourage growers to protect them and keep planting them.</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/481635/21054913_855919454561738_4075756651291698973_o-1516904129.jpg" /></p><p>Cocoa pods from different varieties</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/483711/div_jaune-1517566688.jpg" />​​​​</p><p><u><strong>THE FOUNDERS:</strong></u></p><p>We make our own chocolate at our little atelier, located behind our shop, in the 9th district of Paris. It has been 2 years since we started this chocolatey adventure. Ara Chocolat was founded by&nbsp;a Venezuelan couple, that came to France 6 years ago.</p><p>- <strong>Andr&eacute;s, our&nbsp;chef chocolatier,</strong> <strong>the one that creates all the&nbsp;recipes, the cacao passionate</strong>, the one that is always looking for new cacao varieties, that talks to the farmers, that repairs&nbsp;the machines, <strong>the heart of Ara Chocolat</strong>.
