Natural Colombian cocoa, of "fino de aroma" quality, which has arrived in Slovakia and supplies hundreds of fans, carries with it an inspiring story!
Listen to the story of the creation and development of the Kakaw Co+ brand!
You can listen to an interview with Martina Matejíčková, founder of the KakawCo+ brand, on the Viva radio podcast - in the "Refresh" program.
In this episode, you will learn about the ideas behind the creation of this unique business and why cocoa is becoming an increasingly popular part of our diet. Martina Matejíčková, the woman behind the Kakaw Co+ brand, traded the hectic world of global finance for a world full of natural cocoa culture. Her story is an inspiring example of how to successfully combine business with a passion for inclusive entrepreneurship and sustainability. Thanks to her determination and enthusiasm, we can not only enjoy excellent cocoa, but also contribute to a better future for farmers and our planet.
Her vision for her future career began to take shape while she was studying public economics, which she supplemented with a minor in social entrepreneurship. As she was looking for meaningful work, she decided to use the knowledge and experience she had gained and traveled to a country that enchanted her with its culture and passion for an ancient treasure—cocoa. In Colombia, while participating in various projects, she further developed her idea for a concept that would raise awareness of this beneficial food (cocoa), address social dilemmas, and, last but not least, emphasize respect for the environment. In Colombia, she began working with local farmers, former coca growers, with whom she built a new era of cultivation.
Social entrepreneurship can be sustainable
After returning to Slovakia, she launched a social enterprise concept that provided jobs for hard-to-employ, disadvantaged people in an integration packaging facility. This initially bold idea now creates an inclusive and respectful working environment for disadvantaged people in Slovakia and brings new opportunities and fair working conditions for local farmers in Latin America.
Cocoa is a timeless superfood that is a rich source of nutrients, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats. In addition, cocoa has stimulating effects, making it an alternative to coffee. This is thanks to theobromine, which provides the body with energy and increases concentration, and is released gradually.
Kakaw Co+ distributes natural cocoa, which has gained a wide range of fans of all ages. The range includes popular high-quality cocoa beans and single-origin chocolates. You can enjoy the products throughout the day and anywhere.
