About Semuliki Forest 70%

The Semuliki Forest 70% bar is a testament to the distinct terroir of the Bundibugyo region in Uganda. Crafted from high-quality cacao, the beans are sourced with meticulous attention to detail. This bar stands as a vibrant example of African cacao, highlighting a unique post-harvest process where the beans are centrally fermented and sun-dried on raised beds to ensure peak quality before they even reach the roasting stage.

True to the minimalist philosophy of fine chocolate making, this bar contains only two ingredients: cacao beans and cane sugar. This simplicity allows the inherent character of the Ugandan forest cacao to shine without distraction. Enthusiasts will find a bright and nuanced flavor profile defined by distinct notes of orange, peach, and sweet banana. It is a refined experience that highlights the natural acidity and aromatic depth possible when only the finest ingredients are used.

This exceptional bar has garnered significant acclaim from the global specialty chocolate community. Its high standards of production and distinct flavor profile have earned it multiple recognitions, including Great Taste 1 Star awards in both 2021 and 2022, as well as honors from the International Chocolate Awards and the Academy of Chocolate. As a certified organic offering, it remains a favorite for those who value both transparency and complexity in their chocolate.
