Tanzania Kilombero Valley Kokoa Kamili 72%

This 45 gram bar showcases the 2023 harvest from the Kilombero Valley in Tanzania, sourced from the Kokoa Kamili fermentary. By focusing on single origin precision, the maker highlights the distinct terroir of East Africa through a meticulous bean to bar approach that celebrates the unique identity of the region.

With a 72% cacao content, this dark chocolate offers a complex sensory experience characterized by bright red fruit and delicate floral notes of violet and rose. These high notes are balanced by underlying nutty and herbal elements. The velvety texture is achieved through refining in a melanger and a 28 hour conching process, while a medium-low roast level ensures the vibrant acidity and aromatic profile of the Tanzanian beans remain the focal point.

The ingredient list is minimal and transparent, consisting only of cocoa beans, unrefined cane sugar, and cocoa butter. Taman excludes additives such as lecithin, vanillin, or vegetable fats, allowing the purity of the Kilombero Valley harvest to be fully expressed. This commitment to craftsmanship has earned the bar international recognition, including a Silver award at the 2024 Academy of Chocolate and a Bronze at the International Chocolate Awards.
