A recent study[1] has found that 56% of global consumers will make a purchase based on brand story alone. With our organic cocoa beans originating in the Dominican Republic, Van Houten Santo Domingo tells a powerful story. But this is not all. Because these same beans deliver a delicious taste. Incredible quality too. As proven by the awards we are proud to have won! Our hot chocolate sells itself. You just need to make sure you have it ready to offer your consumers. And not only for the first time, but every time they return!

As a reference to the rich heritage (and the capital city) of the Dominican Republic, we named our chocolate drink ‘Santo Domingo’. An exotic tale for consumers. As well as our show of pride in the origins of our hot-chocolate drink and its unique flavour. 

A story of sustainability

At every step of the farming processes for our hot-chocolate drink, Van Houten has insisted on sustainable agricultural practices. Our Santo Domingo single-origin hot chocolate is made with 100% Rainforest Alliance-certified organic cocoa beans farmed by farmers under fair conditions. A single-origin, resource-efficient product is an important step on the path we all need to take towards a better planet. A path more and more consumers are insisting on taking.
