We don’t trade paper. We process beans.
Zatello Cocoa Supply is an origin-side processor and exporter of bulk cocoa ingredients — powder, butter, liquor and beans — supplying food manufacturers, chocolatiers and cosmetic formulators worldwide.
Close to the farm, fluent in the trade.
Most cocoa that reaches a European or Asian factory has passed through four or five hands. Every one of them adds cost and removes accountability. Zatello was built to shorten that chain.
We buy directly from farming cooperatives at origin and control what happens next: fermentation, drying, roasting, pressing and milling all take place under our own quality regime. When we hand you a certificate of analysis, it describes cocoa we actually handled — not a document passed along with a shipment we have never seen.
That matters commercially as well as ethically. It means we can hold a specification, repeat it lot after lot, and answer a technical question without making a phone call to someone else.
Three commitments we will put in writing.
Specification, held
The fat content, pH, moisture and bean count you agreed are the ones that arrive. Every lot is tested and documented before it leaves.
Sample before contract
You never commit to a container on the strength of a photograph. Physical samples go out by courier so your own lab can decide.
Verifiable, on request
Company registration, export licences and trade references are available to any serious buyer who asks for them.
Six stages, all under our own roof.
This is what origin-side processing actually means day to day — and why we can hold a specification lot after lot.
Due diligence is welcome here.
Bulk cocoa attracts its share of bad actors, and experienced buyers are right to be cautious about any new supplier — particularly one quoting below the terminal market. We would rather you check us thoroughly than take a chance.
So we make the checks easy, and we run every transaction on the standard instruments the trade already trusts.
- Company registration documents supplied on request
- Export licence and certificate of origin for every shipment
- Letters of credit accepted — no pressure for advance payment
- Third-party inspection at loading welcome, at your instruction
- Trade references from existing buyers, on request
