Virunga 75% dark chocolate bar
£6.75
Chocolarder’s bars show the chocolate maker’s art in its most simple form, allowing their skill and the quality of the ingredients to really shine. This bar is over 75% cacao - and it is exceptional cacao in many ways.
The Femmes de Virunga project launched in 2016, the first ever female-led cacao cooperative in the world. Based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where women still deal disproportionally with violence and poverty, the project educates and supports these women, enabling them to provide for and support their families. Since the project started in 2016 more than a quarter of a million cacao trees have been planted and there are over 1500 women farmers in the cooperative.
All of Chocolarder’s products are exceptional. They smell good. They feel staisfying in the hand. They taste sensational. But we also really admire their way of working. All of their ingredients come from slavery-free sources and are often bought from plantations and farms who involve local communities, rather than exploiting them. Their products don’t contain palm oil. Chocolarder’s packaging is also plastic free. And they are a business who create year-round jobs in Cornwall, an area of the UK that is very reliant on seasonal work.
Cocoa beans and unrefined raw sugar. 70g
