Chocolarder Virunga Dark Chocolate Bar 75% Cocoa - Premium Vegan & Gluten-Free Chocolate for Gifts, Baking & Desserts

Product Description

African chocolate has a dark history. That is why projects in the Virunga National Park, the oldest in Africa, are so important. In 2016 the Femmes de Virunga project was launched, the first ever female-led cacao cooperative in the world, and in one of the most dangerous places to be a woman. The project educates and supports these women, enabling them to provide for and support their families.

Since the project started in 2016 more than a quarter of a million cacao trees have been planted and there are over 1500 women farmers in the cooperative.

Tasting notes of deep chocolate and light brightness of dried red fruits with a peaty whisky endnote.
