Foundry Kilombero Valley Tanzania 70% Dark Chocolate
It is not until you eat award winning chocolate, like this Foundry Tanzania 70% Dark Chocolate, that you realise how good it can be. Foundry Chocolate, made in New Zealand, is a multi award winning chocolatier, where the chocolate is made with just two ingredients...cacao beans and organic cane sugar.
But each bar is made with cacao beans just from a particular plantation. And the difference in flavour between the bars is phenomenal. Blows your mind. Wonderful flavours, too, along with a lovely smooth chocolate. All extracted in some magical way from the cocoa beans.
With this Vanuatu bar, the cacao beans from a buying group called Kokoa Kamili, in the Kilombero Valley in Tanzania. Prior to Kokoa Kamili, a single buyer dominated the area, and historically the farmers received some of the lowest prices for cocoa in Tanzania. Kokoa Kamili pays a premium, well above the market rate, to farmers, and does its own fermentation and drying, resulting in higher quality cocoa beans and greater compensation for the farmers.
This Kilombero Valley chocolate evokes flavours of baked stone fruit, succulent cherries and Christmas cake. And that is just the cacao's origins talking, with the addition of organic cane sugar. No additional flavours, just cocoa and sugar, and exceptional chocolate making.
Now you can eat chocolate like you would drink a fine wine, tasting different flavours and maybe finding aromas and characters your unique senses pick up. And know that you are supporting small villages around the world, paying fair trade prices for their produce.
