Virunga Origins Dark 63% is a bean-to-bar chocolate from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, highlighting the cacao of a biodiverse national park.
Virunga Origins produces this 63% cacao bar using beans sourced directly from the Virunga region in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The maker focuses on building a bridge between the local economy and the conservation of this UNESCO World Heritage site, which serves as a vital habitat for endangered mountain gorillas.
The chocolate profile is defined by a modest 63% cocoa content, resulting in a texture that is approachable for those beginning to explore single-origin bars. The recipe is intentionally simple, utilizing cocoa mass and raw cane sugar to highlight the characteristics of the regional harvest. A small amount of soy lecithin is included to ensure consistent tempering and a smooth mouthfeel.
The production process adheres to strict standards, as the bar holds both Organic and Vegan certifications. Packaged in a standard 100 gram format, the product reflects the maker's commitment to creating a stable market for farmers working within one of the most biologically diverse landscapes on the planet.
