SOMA Semuliki Forest Uganda 70% Bar, 65g

Soma was founded in 2003 in Toronto, Canada. A rarity in the industry, Soma is adept at both chocolate making, and also a fantastic chocolatier. They were one of the first to tackle the micro batch chocolate bar production and their high quality chocolate bars have been awarded multiple times over the years.

The cacao beans used to make this chocolate is grown by 500 smallholder farmers in the lush growing region of Bundibugyo in Uganda. Each farm is 1-2 hectares, either owned as family land or leased from other farmers. This chocolate bar is community supported. Chocolatemakers are given an opportunity to pay a bonus per kg to be used directly to support the farmers that make Semuliki Forest cacao possible. This year the fund will be used to pay school fees for the farmer’s children.

And the chocolate...its amazing with notes of raisins, figs, chocolate cake, walnuts & vanilla.
