Afrikoa produces this 55% cocoa dark chocolate, which serves as an accessible entry point for those beginning to explore single origin cacao. The bar is crafted using Tanzanian cocoa beans, reflecting the specific character of the region. At 80 grams, this bar demonstrates the result of careful processing by the manufacturer.
The manufacturing process relies on a melanger for refining the cocoa, followed by a controlled tempering process to ensure a stable structure and finish. The ingredients consist of cane sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa beans, and sunflower lecithin.
The brand emphasizes sustainable sourcing practices. The final product is classified as vegan, dairy-free, and soy-free, catering to specific dietary requirements. Consumers should note that the facility where this chocolate is manufactured also processes tree nuts and milk powders, which is an important consideration for those with severe allergies.
