Foundry is an artisanal bean to bar maker dedicated to expressing the unique character of single origin cacao. Based in New Zealand, the makers focus on a minimalist approach to production, allowing the natural identity of the beans to take center stage. Their work has been recognized globally, earning silver distinctions from both the Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate Awards in 2020.
The Semuliki Forest bar is a masterclass in simplicity, crafted from just two ingredients: cacao beans and organic cane sugar. At 70% cacao, it offers a sophisticated sensory experience that highlights the distinct influence of the Ugandan landscape. On the palate, expect a harmonious balance of deep, earthy undertones layered with sweet, comforting notes of toffee, honey, and ripe banana.
The foundation of this bar lies in the meticulous care taken at the source. The cacao beans are harvested from the Semuliki Forest region in Uganda. To ensure the highest quality, the beans undergo a precise, centralized fermentation process overseen by Latitude Trade Co. before being dried in the sun, preserving the integrity and vibrant flavor precursors essential for such a refined chocolate experience.
