Single-origin cacao · grown on farm
An enterprise from
a regenerating forest.
Anitu Forest Food Processing is an enterprise based in Kibawe, Bukidnon, Philippines, founded in 2020 by spouses Rogen M. Montecillo and Marvi Rafael R. Montecillo. Established during the pandemic, the enterprise develops forest-based cacao and food innovations rooted in regenerative agriculture, community participation, and sustainable rural development.
What began as the production and sale of raw cacao beans and traditional tableya has evolved into a value-added cacao enterprise producing artisan chocolates, cacao trail mix, cacao juice, and other cacao-based innovations. Its signature collection of Forest Flavors celebrates the abundance of forest-grown ingredients and local biodiversity through unique combinations such as Banana-Nangka Charm, Cacao-Coffee Alchemy, and other handcrafted chocolate creations inspired by nature.
By maximizing every part of the cacao fruit, Anitu promotes a circular approach to food production while contributing to climate resilience, biodiversity restoration, and improved soil health through syntropic agroforestry systems.
"To make reforestation economically impactful."
