A Symbol of Feminine Power

“All joy wants the eternity of all things” - F. Nietzsche

How to represent the female perspective in this chocolate that we passionately create?

"Tierra Hermosa" (Beautiful Land) is a female character, and we portray her from a woman's vision.

From the beginning, a lady conceived this project for which we breathe. Everything started with creating a bar of chocolate to remember the image of my mother, Gigi, whom I loved deeply and who was born in the same area where we harvest cacao today.

Our special edition for her

When curating it, I wanted to select the most delicate, fragrant, elegant and exquisite cacao.

It had to look like her. I wanted it to be eternal, to defy time and space, as well as the centenary cacao trees that lie there.

Could love be infinite? I think so; the challenge is not to forget it.

That is the soul of our chocolate, inspired by the love for a woman, a mother, a feminine, beautiful and resilient figure. Without thinking about it, an array of edges expanded like a beautiful constellation of reasons that prompted us to unite other stories, characters, flavours, and corners.

A limited edition crafted entirely in Ecuador

Simone de Beauvoir said, "men describe the world from their point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth". That's why we invite sensitive minds, regardless of gender, to discover other perspectives that challenge patriarchal assumptions through this chocolate bar.

If the world of cacao is masculine by nature, with this project, we demonstrate that it is possible to create feminine, delicate and powerful chocolate.

We dedicate this chocolate to creative, resilient, committed, passionate women worldwide. Your stories inspire us.

Cárdenas Chocolate creates a limited edition for International Women's Day. It’s a wonderful collaboration with Juan Cortés from Lavanda Natura in Manta, Ecuador.
