Teck Guan started planting in 1957 this specially selected, fine-flavored AMETONADO cocoa in the fertile volcanic soil around the Quoin Hill volcano area. AMELONADO is superior in its rich cocoa flavor but not easily grown. A few other cocoa plantations have tried cultivating AMELONADO cocoa but failed. Today Teck Guan is the largest and successful AMELONADO cocoa producer in Malaysia. From these best cocoa seeds processed into fine cocoa powder using up-to-date, state-of-the-art modern processing machines.
