Empower Strong Women
with Strong Cacao

behind the bean

Discover
Know Your Bean: Amelonado
The quality of our Virunga chocolates shows how important soil, climate and skillful processing  are to make the best from a bean. The strong Femmes de Virunga 55% chocolate is the result of several years continued training the farming women until they have become masters at growing, fermenting and drying cacao.
Preserve
Empower Strong Women with Strong Cacao
Witnessing first hand how women in the Eastern Congo assume leadership roles and live and work in a sustainable manner, despite the dangers facing them in the region, we put our full support behind a project dedicated to improving their lives. Teaching Virunga women how to write, lead, earn money, plant their own cacao and develop their own institutions inspires us all.

This very special dessert with Persian citric fruits has nice toasted and acid nuances and that all highlight the values of the chocolates immersed in the creation.
