About
Afrikoa
Afrikoa operates as a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in South Africa. The company distinguishes itself by focusing on the production of chocolate within the continent where the cocoa is grown, maintaining control over the process from the raw bean to the finished product.
The production process involves specific techniques to ensure the texture and stability of the final items. Afrikoa utilizes a melanger to refine their cocoa mass, ensuring a consistent particle size. Following this, the chocolate undergoes a tempering process, a critical step that provides the snap and glossy finish characteristic of their bars, truffles, and chocolate-coated nuts.
Sourcing practices at the company prioritize direct trade relationships. By working directly with producers, Afrikoa obtains heirloom cocoa sourced from various regions across Africa. This approach is central to their supply chain, allowing for a closer connection to the origins of the raw ingredients used in their 80-gram standard bars and other creations.
