01 — The Soul

Chocolate that
doesn't speak.
It reveals.

Every Orivo bar begins in the same place: the cooperative plantations of Ivory Coast, where the Forastero bean — fermented for six days, sun-dried for a week — carries within it the entire complexity of Ivorian soil.

02 — The Source

The world begins
in Ivory Coast.

Ivory Coast produces over 38% of the world's cacao. We work exclusively with 12 certified cooperatives, selecting only main-harvest Forastero and Trinitario beans — larger, more aromatic, exceptional.

03 — The Founder

"I grew up hearing the cacao pods fall. For me, chocolate was never exotic — it was home. Orivo is my way of giving the world what Ivory Coast has always deserved: recognition."

Born in Ivory Coast, Yaya Sanogo grew up surrounded by cacao plantations. The smell of fermented beans, the weight of a ripe pod, the rhythm of the cooperatives — these were not discoveries for him, they were childhood. After studying in Abidjan and moving to Milan to master the art of luxury craftsmanship, Yaya understood what the world was missing: Ivory Coast produces over 38% of global cacao, yet no luxury brand had ever been born from its soil. In 2016, he founded Orivo — to change that forever.
