Dark chocolate from Congo
70% cacao: 20 hour conch
100 g/3.57 oz

This is the first-ever single-source chocolate from the Congo: the heart of Africa. The beans are grown at the margins of dense, unexplored forests: home to gorillas, okapis and the pygmy people. The chocolate is conched for twenty- hours, which results in an intense flavor profile that gives flight to all the fruit nuances. Tasting notes include the mouthwatering fruit of mulberries, cara cara orange, and a floral burst of honeysuckle. A cheerful chocolate with vivid notes that play like a pinball across the tongue, yet is grounded by a full and satisfying “mouth feel”.  Unlike any other we have tasted.
