Naurits is a cocoa trading supplier based in Tallinn, Estonia. We supply cocoa beans, nibs, cocoa mass, cocoa butter and powder to chocolate and confectionery manufacturers, cocoa processors, bakeries and food producers that require a dependable source of supply.
Naurits acts as a trading partner between cocoa producers and the food industry. We do not grow or process cocoa ourselves. We are the link between origin and manufacturer: we select lots, verify documentation, hold stock and arrange delivery to the customer. For a manufacturer, this means a single supplier who is responsible for quality, paperwork and timing, instead of several parties who each cover only a part of the chain.
LocationTallinn is a convenient base for trade. The nearby port and short road and sea connections to the rest of Europe make it possible to deliver goods to most European markets within a few days. Cocoa arrives from West Africa by sea, is placed in storage and is dispatched onward by road or by sea. Because stock is held in Tallinn, customers with a short lead time can be supplied from the warehouse without waiting for the next vessel from the country of origin.
AssortmentThe assortment corresponds to the stages of cocoa processing. We supply cocoa beans, roasted nibs, cocoa mass, cocoa butter and cocoa powder. Each product has its own specification, packing and typical application: chocolate makers purchase beans and butter, bakeries mostly powder, and producers of confectionery and snacks often combine several products. Since all five are supplied by one company, they can be ordered together, invoiced together and shipped in one consignment.
Selection of lotsThe greater part of our work takes place at the beginning of the chain. We purchase from producers and exporters with whom we have long-term partnerships. We request information on the fermentation and drying of each lot, examine samples and arrange laboratory analysis on request. Only lots that have passed all the necessary checks are offered to customers. If there are doubts about quality, we decline the purchase regardless of its price.
CustomersOur customers are industrial buyers: manufacturers of chocolate and confectionery, cocoa processors, bakeries, producers of beverages and food, and bean-to-bar manufacturers. Their volumes and products differ, but their requirements are consistent. The delivered goods must correspond to the specification, the documentation must be complete and accurate, and the delivery must take place on the agreed date. Our procedures are organised around these three requirements.
LogisticsInternational transport is organised together with UMM Logistics, our logistics partner, which carries out the international transport and is responsible for all customs formalities. Naurits remains responsible for the cargo from loading until handover to the customer. Delivery terms are agreed for each order – from collection at our warehouse in Tallinn (EXW) to delivery to the customer’s premises – and each shipment can be tracked from dispatch to arrival.
EnquiriesTo receive an offer, please specify the product, the quantity and the place of delivery. We will provide the specification, the price and a delivery plan. If the requirements have not yet been finalised, we are glad to advise on the suitable products and grades for the intended application.
