DÙNE

DÙNE operates as a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in Nigeria. As a small-scale artisan entity, the maker oversees the production cycle from the raw cacao stage through to the finished bar, ensuring control over every phase of manufacturing.

The technical approach at DÙNE centers on a defined fermentation and drying protocol applied to their cacao. This attention to post-harvest processing is followed by a deliberate tempering stage, which establishes the physical structure of the chocolate. These procedural steps are central to their internal methodology, which the maker highlights in their public documentation.

In alignment with their production philosophy, the maker maintains direct trade claims regarding their sourcing practices. By engaging directly with the supply chain, they seek to maintain visibility over the origin of their primary ingredient.
