Utah’s trend-setting chefs and beverage experts craft chocolate-based creations to benefit the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund.
“In the face of an agricultural system that is quickly killing them off, the HCP is a non-profit striving to protect rare strains of heirloom cacao.
Without their efforts, future generations may never be able to taste just how delicious chocolate can be.”
– Matt Caputo

Preserving Heirloom Cacao
The Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund (HCP) is a non-profit collaboration between the Fine Chocolate Industry Association and the United States Department of Agriculture to genetically identify strains of heirloom cacao that are extraordinary and unique in flavor and quality and preserve them in the face of an agricultural system that is quickly killing them off.
