57 Chocolate

57 Chocolate is a bean-to-bar producer located in Ghana. The name of the company pays homage to the year of Ghana's independence in 1957. By operating within the country of origin, the maker focuses on transforming cocoa beans into finished products locally, rather than exporting raw materials for processing elsewhere.

The company positions itself as a revolutionary entity within the landscape of chocolate production. By maintaining control over the manufacturing process from the raw bean to the finished bar, the makers ensure they oversee every stage of the production cycle. This approach allows the team to maintain a specific identity centered on regional production.

The brand emphasizes direct trade practices as a core element of its business model. By working directly with farmers, the makers aim to establish a transparent supply chain. This focus on sourcing helps ground the brand in the local agricultural environment, connecting the finished product to the specific conditions where the cocoa trees grow.
