Les Chocolateries Askanya

When Corinne Joachim Sanon Symietz WG11 discovered that Haiti was supplying its high-quality cacao to some of the world’s leading chocolate-producing countries, she decided to start making high-end chocolate right in Haiti. Les Chocolateries Askanya is the country’s first and only premier bean-to-bar chocolate company. It uses certified-organic cacao, grown in Haiti and harvested by 3,000-plus Haitian farmers, to produce a great product in beautiful packaging. Aside from making delicious chocolate, one of Symietz’s primary goals is creating jobs and economic growth in Haiti—a sweet deal for everyone.
