Banana 70% Semuliki Forest, Uganda

Banana 70% Semuliki Forest, Uganda

We've paired our classic 70% dark chocolate using Ugandan cacao with banana!

 

Freeze dried banana powder is mixed through and chunks of freeze dried banana also make an appearance to round out the bar. A morish bar which brings back childhood memories of banana sundaes. 

 

Ingredients: Cacao beans, cane sugar, cacao butter, freeze dried banana (powder and pieces)

 

Ethically sourced beans

Located in Bundibugyo, Western Uganda, Semuliki Forest cacao is grown by 1,002 organic smallholder farmers in the region, 52% of whom are women. Latitude Trade Co. (LTC), the company that processes and exports this cacao, has organized 6 rural collection points for farmers to access, where they sell fresh cacao weekly into the network and receive cash at the point of sale. LTC's centralized fermentation facility and warehouse is located in the village of Bumate, at the base of the hills leading into the mountains. The site is designed to take advantage of all possible available sunshine while limiting runoff from heavy rainfall. Fermentation boxes have a 500kg capacity and total duration of fermentation varies from 5.5-6.5 days. Beans are sun-dried on portable raised racks for 6-7 days and blended to create consistent lots before export.
