ICAM Icam is the Italian company specialised in the processing, production and marketing of high quality chocolate and semi-finished cocoa products. Cocoa is at the heart of the company and has been taken care of at every stage of the supply chain for 75 years, from the moment the plant is grown to the more than 370 recipes produced in the Orsenigo (Como) and made available to confectioners, chocolatiers and gelato makers in Italy and abroad. Over the years, and during the many trips it has made to the countries of origin of cocoa, Icam has forged positive and long-lasting partnerships with cooperatives in South America and Africa, which have enabled it to work alongside farmers to improve the quality of cocoa imported from these countries. A presence of more than ten years has raised production standards with positive effects in many areas. The acquisition of new cultivation techniques has enabled local farmers to increase the productivity of their harvest, improving their income and consequently their socio-economic situation. Moreover, thanks to the involvement of agronomists and specialised personnel, each innovation brought by Icam to these countries has been implemented taking care of the local ecosystems and respecting the biodiversity of each one. A sustainable approach with multiple positive effects, not least the security of working with a raw material of excellent quality. With this in mind, Icam produces couverture chocolates, powders, butter, cocoa paste and creams at its plant in Orsenigo, offering its customers a wide range of products for all types of use.
