There is no direct translation for Terrior - it is a Greek ideology that means to create a perfect product you must start with the soil, plant, climate, environment and the right people. This idea is used in creating fine wines as well as cocoa producing. Every plantation has their own terroir, climate, soil, and process, that creates the finest and unique cocoa beans. The character of cocoa beans is very different depending on location, just like grapes used to produce wine. High quality chocolate makers include the information about the origin (place, vintage, etc.) of the cocoa beans used on their labels.
