Dark chocolate Uganda Semuliki 70%

Description

Uganda Semuliki cocoa is the Forestero variety, known locally as Koko. The chocolate has a strong, intense aroma of cocoa, notes of cinnamon and fig.

Located in Bundibugyo in western Uganda, Semuliki Forest cocoa is grown by more than 3 400 small-scale organic farmers in the region, 52% of whom are women. Latitude Trade Co. (LTC), the company that processes and exports this cocoa, operates an extensive network of rural collection points where it buys high-quality wet cocoa, paying at least 20% more to producers than other buyers in Uganda.
In addition to sourcing cocoa, Latitude also runs its own chocolate factory from bean to bar and café in Kampala, where it produces award-winning chocolates for its community and for international export.
