notes from the maker
“For some, 85% cocoa can be a bit harsh on the palate; however, in this case, we were able to appreciate a significant decrease in this effect, something that truly surprised us. Pairing this chocolate bar with strawberries, cheeses, and red wine would taste fabulous!”
– Pablo, Lead Chocolate Maker
Near the town of Bundibugyo in western Uganda, Semuliki Forest cocoa is grown by roughly 1,000 organically certified regional farmers, of whom 52 percent are women. Fermentation varies from five to six days, and beans are sun-dried on portable raised decks for six to seven days, and then blended to create consistent lots of delicious beans before export.
