White Coconut

Virunga Origins operates as a bean-to-bar producer focused on the Virunga region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This specific bar, named White Coconut, highlights the intersection of cacao cultivation and the conservation of the Virunga National Park. The park stands as a vital, biologically diverse habitat for the world's population of mountain gorillas.

The bar belongs to the white chocolate family and contains 29% cacao. Its composition relies on a blend of cocoa butter, coconut milk powder, raw cane sugar, and soy lecithin. The inclusion of coconut milk provides a distinct, plant-based creaminess that complements the neutral profile of the cocoa butter.

Sourcing is handled through direct trade practices to support the local agricultural economy. The production adheres to organic standards, and the final bar maintains a Vegan certification, ensuring that the dairy-free profile remains consistent with its ingredient list.
