DARK CHOCOLATE 55% UGANDA
According to ancient Greek chronicles, the source of the Nile was said to lie in the “Mountains of the Moon” — a majestic range of snow-capped peaks, named for their brilliant, moonlit whiteness.
Centuries later, these mythical peaks were identified as the Rwenzori Mountains in western Uganda, a region of breathtaking beauty and fertile volcanic soil.
At the foothills of the Rwenzoris, smallholder farmers cultivate cacao alongside vanilla and coffee, following traditional agroforestry practices.
The cacao trees thrive in the shade of fruit and timber trees.
The cacao grown here is a genetic blend of Upper Amazon Forastero, Amelonado, and Trinitario hybrids, producing beans with a distinctive aromatic balance —
deep cocoa tones, gentle fruit notes, and a harmonious roundness that reflects both the richness of the land and the dedication of its farmers.
From myth to origin, the Rwenzori Mountains cacao stands as a tribute to Uganda’s natural splendour and its rising excellence in fine chocolate craftsmanship 🍫✨.
