Description
Dark milk chocolate made with Criollo cocoa beans from Peru, grown by the Awajun population. With coffee from hand-picked Arabica ground coffee beans from Colombia.
30% cocoa is on the package, but then it is only about the cocoa beans, not the added cocoa butter. Normally chocolate makers include cocoa butter in the percentage. The way Chocolate Makers do it is actually so honest. In the supermarket this would probably be called a 58% milk chocolate
About the cocoa
The cocoa of this bar is grown by the Awajun Indians. The Awajun are traditional hunters and gatherers and live in the jungle of the Amazon rainforest in the north-east of Peru. Cocoa originates from the rainforests of the Amazon. This Criollo cocoa comes directly from the birth ground of the cocoa.
With the income from this organic cocoa, the Awajun Indians can earn a living and are not forced to earn money by selling or cutting wood for agriculture and animal husbandry. This bar contributes to the preservation of the tropical rainforest and the development of sustainable cultivation of cocoa.

Maaike –
Ja! Joepie! Met spanning op deze reep gewacht en hij stelt niet teleur. De kleur is veel donkerder dan ik dacht, misschien door de koffie. Verder niet enorm bijzonder, maar gewoon een hele lekkere chocolade met de koffiesmaak goed aanwezig. Leek iets van zout in te zitten, maar kon dat niet in de ingrediënten lijst vinden. Ging hier in huis iets té snel op want dit is een heerlijke snoepreep waar veel mensen van zullen genieten. Denk ook dat het een leuk cadeautje is om mee te nemen op visite ofzo.
