Almond 80%, Sugar Free

Afrikoa is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker operating out of South Africa. The company focuses on processing African cocoa beans locally to support regional supply chains and manufacturing capabilities, marking a departure from the traditional model of exporting raw beans for international processing.

The Almond 80% bar showcases Tanzanian cacao refined in a melanger to achieve its final texture. The formulation replaces traditional sugar with erythritol and xylitol, resulting in an intense 80% cacao profile. Inclusion of whole almonds provides a distinct crunch and nutty counterpoint to the bitterness of the high-percentage dark chocolate.

Designed for specific dietary preferences, the bar is entirely dairy-free, soy-free, and vegan. While the ingredients exclude animal products, the bar is manufactured in a facility that also processes milk powders and tree nuts, which is a consideration for those with severe allergen sensitivities.
