Pressing and Industrial Grades

Unfermented beans and cocoa cake specified for butter pressing, grinding, and bulk cocoa solids.

Pressing and industrial buyers care about moisture, fat, cleanliness, and landed cost more than cup character. This collection groups our sun-dried unfermented Grade B beans and natural press cake, documented to the same defect and moisture standards as the rest of the catalogue, with wholesale minimums from 5 MT.

Whole beans or cake

Buy unfermented whole beans when you run your own roast, winnow, and press line. Buy cake when butter has already been removed and you need cocoa solids for milling or blending. Both are available under FOB, CFR, or CIF with full export documentation.

Wholesale trial volumes

Unfermented grades and cake accept partial loads from 5 MT for qualified first-time buyers, subject to consolidation schedules. Fermented custom programmes stay at full-container minimums. Tell us your monthly press or grind volume so we can propose a standing programme rather than spot containers only.

Frequently asked questions

Ordering, samples, shipping, and payment, answered by our export desk.

What is your minimum order quantity?

For fermented grades the minimum is one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). For unfermented Sulawesi and Java beans we can arrange partial loads from 5 MT, and LCL trial lots are available for qualified first-time buyers, subject to consolidation schedules.

Do you provide samples before ordering?

Yes. We courier 500 g – 2 kg samples of current lots, including cut-test photos and moisture readings. Sample costs are credited against your first order.

Which ports and incoterms do you work with?

We ship from Makassar and Surabaya under FOB, CFR, or CIF terms to most major ports. Every shipment includes phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate, certificate of origin, and full loading documentation.

What payment terms do you accept?

Standard terms are 30% advance with order confirmation and 70% against copy of bill of lading. Irrevocable LC at sight is accepted for established buyers and larger contracts.

Which certifications can you supply?

Selected lots carry Rainforest Alliance, Organic, Fairtrade, and Halal (BPJPH) certification. Our Makassar processing and export warehousing facility operates under ISO 22000 and HACCP. Certification availability is listed on each product page.

Can you provide third-party inspection and laboratory COAs?

Yes. We can arrange SGS or equivalent pre-shipment inspection at the loading port, and ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory certificates covering moisture, bean count, cut-test appearance, and microbiology on request. Inspection costs are quoted separately and agreed before booking.

Can you run a custom fermentation programme?

Yes, for wholesale buyers. We box-ferment against a written protocol (day count, turning schedule, target cut-test, drying moisture) booked on a named cooperative harvest, starting at one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). Trial containers are available before a season contract. This is a container programme, not single-bag or micro-lot supply.

Do you offer OEM or private-label packing?

Yes. On recurring wholesale contracts we stencil buyer marks, print custom lot codes, and issue packing lists to your bag-mark requirements while keeping our legal entity on the commercial invoice unless otherwise agreed. Minimums stay at our standard wholesale floors. Send artwork and language requirements with your quote request; programme details are on the services page.
