40% cocoa · milk chocolate · Sierra Leone
A 40% dark milk chocolate bar from Chocolate Makers, crafted with cacao beans from the Gola Rainforest in Sierra Leone and finished with sea salt.
Chocolate Makers, based in Amsterdam, operates as a bean-to-bar producer focused on transparent sourcing. They maintain a distinct logistical approach by transporting their cacao beans from the Gola Rainforest in Sierra Leone to Amsterdam entirely by the sailing ship Tres Hombres.
The production process begins with beans fermented for six days in wooden boxes, followed by sun-drying on raised beds. The resulting 40% dark milk chocolate incorporates cane sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder, cocoa mass, sea salt, and rapeseed lecithin to achieve its specific profile.
The company holds multiple certifications, including Organic and Fair Trade. They are also a Certified B Corporation and ensure the bar is gluten-free.
