Virunga Origins is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker operating with a focus on the unique environment of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The brand sources its cacao from the Virunga National Park region, a biologically diverse landscape recognized as a home for critically endangered mountain gorillas.
This bar is composed of 61% dark chocolate paired with peanuts. The flavor profile highlights tropical fruit and floral characteristics, providing a contrast to the savory addition of the roasted peanuts. The recipe incorporates cocoa mass, raw cane sugar, peanuts, and a small amount of soy lecithin to assist with texture.
The chocolate is produced to be vegan-friendly. By focusing on the specific terroir of the Virunga National Park, the maker emphasizes the connection between protected wildlife habitats and the production of regional cacao. The inclusion of lecithin as a final ingredient indicates a refined approach to the texture of the finished bar.
