Dandelion Chocolate, Semuliki Forest Uganda 70% Dark Chocolate Bar

This single-origin dark chocolate bar has notes of honey mango, creme fraiche, and cocoa powder. Dandelion's head maker Nate enjoys the characteristic natural fruitiness of Semuliki Forest cocoa, and roasts this batch to accentuate the beans’ tropical punch and hints of of cacao-fruit nectar, banana and cream cheese.

All of Dandelion Chocolate's single-origin bars are made with just cocoa beans and sugar - no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla; and all bars are free of soy, dairy, eggs, and gluten and are made in a factory that does not process nuts. 

In the town of Kasese, near the landmark Semuliki Forest within Uganda’s rainy, tropical Rwrenzururu subregion, a registered social enterprise called Latitude Trade Company, Ltd. sources wet cacao beans from over 4500 smallholder farmers. Latitude ferments each farmer’s harvest in boxes built of local eucalyptus, then blends the many farms’ beans together post-fermentation and drying, thereby creating a uniform, consistently excellent product.
