Intense Dark 95% Cocoa

Virunga Origins is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker operating with a specific focus on sourcing from the Virunga National Park region in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. By managing the process from bean to bar, the producer maintains a direct connection to the agricultural source of its cacao.

The Intense Dark 95% Cocoa bar relies on a minimalist formulation, containing only cocoa mass and raw cane sugar. With a high 95% cocoa content, the sensory profile is defined by notes of rich cocoa balanced by a distinctive tangy quality, reflecting the raw character of the Congo-grown beans.

The production process prioritizes simple, high-quality ingredients, resulting in a product that carries a Vegan certification. This bar serves as an example of focusing on the inherent qualities of the origin through limited intervention and a streamlined ingredient list.
