About Definite Chocolate

Meet Jens Kamin

The journey of Definite Chocolate is a delightful tale that began with Jens, an industrial engineer who dedicated ten years to energy efficiency projects in Germany. His passion for chocolate ignited after he attended a chocolate bonbon workshop in Frankfurt, where he started crafting his own creations as a hobby. However, it was his first encounter with single-origin craft chocolates at the Salon du Chocolat in Cologne that truly captivated him, inspiring his dream of making chocolate from scratch.

A few years later, after relocating to the Dominican Republic, Jens took the leap and began his dream right from his home kitchen. With each passing day, he immersed himself in the art of chocolate-making, learning how to evaluate fine cacao and establishing connections with cacao producers—relationships he still cherishes today. In 2018, he transitioned from home production to a small workspace, and just a year later, he upgraded to a spacious 120-square-meter factory where Definite Chocolate continues to thrive.

Why We Love Them

CARIBBEAN FARM-TO-TABLE EXPERIENCE

Definite Chocolate carefully sources only pure and natural Dominican-grown ingredients, without artificial additives, flavors, or aromas. Definite traverses the island for the finest unique and local ingredients so you can travel through chocolate while supporting a more fair and inclusive economy.

ETHICAL, ORGANIC & DIRECT TRADE

Definite Chocolate collaborates closely with local farmers who grow, harvest, ferment, and dry cacao to continually enhance cacao quality and support their livelihoods. This partnership ensures both delicious chocolate and better business for Dominican farmers.

SINGLE ORIGIN & SINGLE ESTATE

Definite Chocolate crafts small batches of award-winning chocolate and cacao-based products from organic, fine-flavor, single-origin, and single-estate cacao in their Santo Domingo-based factory.
