Think Global - Baiani

Founded in April 2018, Baianí Chocolates, a Tree to Bar brand, was created as a consequence of the need to test the quality improvement of the beans from Vale Potumuju, a cacao origin that belongs to the founders Tuta and Juliana Aquino. The pair's intention was to export specialty cacao beans from their farm located in the Atlantic Rainforest Region in the southeastern state of Bahia - Brazil. While these tests confirmed the achieved higher quality of the beans, the passion for the alchemy of chocolate making was born and the brand is launched with 3 flavors in April 2018.

A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER AND CHOCOLATE MAKER
JULIANA AQUINO

Going back to my origins and birthplace in Bahia, while revisiting my childhood days at the far and experiencing the smells of the cacao fermenting and drying, made me fall in love with this magical process. So in 2016, when I graduated in stronomy, I decided that I needed to exercise my productions with a more engaged contribution to my heritage and rich
gastronomical culture
