Placing a Domestic Wholesale Order

Bulk orders of cacao beans, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, or cacao nibs are arranged directly through Meridian's sales team, who will walk you through the process and help tailor it to your business needs (flavor profile, origin,  certification, and/or price point). Please contact us at info@meridiancacao.com to get started.

Points to keep in mind when ordering:

• Current Availability: Bean  availability depends on harvest cycles and is offered first-come, first-served, so it's worth checking what's in store. 
• Current Pricing: Bean prices can vary by origin and volume, so please contact us for an up-to-date price guide.
• Samples: 1-kilo (2.2 lbs) and 5-kilo increments are available on our online store for testing roast and conch profiles.
• Order Size: There is no minimum purchase requirement. Orders can range from 1 kilo up to hundreds of jute bags (45~70 kg each, or 100~155 lbs each, depending on origin). Price breaks apply at 5+ bags and again at 3 metric tons or more. Mixed origins can be combined on a single pallet and still qualify for the 5+ bag price.
• Payment: New customers pay cash against release. After a history of 3+ completed orders, payment terms up to Net 30 may be available at Meridian's discretion, with a 1.5% monthly finance charge on delinquent accounts. Accepted payment methods include debit/credit card, PayPal, check and wire transfer; card and PayPal payments carry a 3% processing fee.
• Quality Assurance Review: Beans undergo biannual heavy metal testing (except microlots/one-time ferments) and microbial testing per lot. Since raw cacao isn't intended for consumption without a "kill step" like roasting, makers are encouraged to conduct their own testing before selling finished chocolate.
