Congo 37% is a smooth milk chocolate made with Forastero cacao from Virunga National Park, crafted by Chocolate Makers in the Netherlands.
Chocolate Makers is a bean-to-bar producer based in Amsterdam. They focus on sourcing cacao directly from specific cooperatives, building long-term relationships with farmers to ensure transparency and sustainability in their production cycle.
This 37% milk chocolate utilizes Forastero beans harvested from the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The manufacturing process employs a light roast to preserve the inherent characteristics of the cacao, followed by a roll refining method for texture. The addition of rapeseed lecithin ensures a consistent melt across the 80 gram bar.
The bar holds Organic, Gluten Free, and B Corp certifications, reflecting the standards maintained throughout its production. Its quality has been recognized globally, securing an International Chocolate Awards European Silver in 2017 and a World Bronze award the same year, along with further recognition from the Academy of Chocolate in 2018.
