Dieter Meier – founder and entrepreneur
Dieter Meier is a proven pioneer: his innovative strength, curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit have already led him to worldwide success in art, show business and the business world. Oro de Cacao AG (“ODC”) is his latest project with a clear mission: to revolutionize the traditional chocolate industry. After securing the production patents, Dieter Meier realized a new factory in Freienbach, Switzerland and opened the first Oro de Cacao flagship store in the heart of Zurich.
More from the Good
Originally described as a “gift from God”, chocolate lost its positive properties during the industrial revolution: Due to the high temperatures used in traditional production, the “superpowers” of the cocoa bean (also known as “flavonoids” in specialist circles) and its flavor components disappear. Inspired by the ancient Mayan traditions of chocolate making, Dieter Meier has set itself the task of revolutionizing the chocolate industry by exploiting the full potential of the cocoa bean: Cold extraction technology is gentle on the cocoa bean and preserves its unique flavors and rich nutrients without compromising taste. The result is an incredibly mild and aromatic chocolate that is pleasant to enjoy even with a cocoa content of 100%. The secret lies in the gentle extraction process, which reduces the bitter substances and produces a smooth, deep flavor.
