Organic dark chocolate made with 91% Forastero cocoa from Congo
Between the East African savannahs and the vast rainforests of the Congo basin, right on the Equator, lie the legendary ice-covered Mountains of the Moon. According to the ancient Greek geographer and astronomer, Polemy, these Luna Montes were the mystical source of the Nile.

BEAN TO CHOCOLATE:The excellence of our artisan chocolate.
