“Strung around the world along the Equator (between 20ºN to 20ºS parallels of latitude), cacao growing regions lie in a ring of fire (anillo del fuego in Spanish). We search this region to find the best cacao beans. Then we painstakingly combine them to craft the ultimate blended chocolate flavors – E. Guittard Anillo del Fuego Blended Chocolates.” – Gary Guittard

Cacao is grown in 34 countries around the world in Latin America, Africa and Asia principally in areas that fall within 20ºN and 20ºS of the Equator. Each is highlighted in our map below. Other countries, such as Honduras produce only very small amounts of cacao, much of which grows wild in the jungle.



























E. Guittard Anillo del Fuego Blended Chocolates are made from the best hand-selected cacao beans we can find from roughly 20 different cacao producing countries around the world.
