Chocolate Togo Bitter,
Togo
Bitter dark chocolate from our own small-scale production in Togo. The team at gebana Togo produces the bars entirely by hand. Producing chocolate where its main ingredient grows is still a rarity, as cocoa from West Africa is typically processed into chocolate in Europe. With our project, we contribute to retaining value creation in the country of origin and building local know-how. Our long-term goal is to expand and optimise production in Togo to produce more chocolate of better quality directly on-site.
The high cocoa content of 80 per cent provides intense fruit flavours with notes of red berries and morello cherries. A harmonious bitterness rounds off the taste.
Due to the simple production method, it is not quite as meltingly smooth as Swiss chocolate. Each bar weighs 75 grams.

Background
Swiss chocolate – made in Togo
70 per cent of the cocoa processed worldwide comes from West Africa, but the region hardly benefits from this. Only around 10 per cent of the retail price of a conventional bar of chocolate remains in the country of origin. We want to change this by producing chocolate directly in Togo. The aim is for up to 50 per cent of the retail price to remain in the country. By contributing to our crowdfunding campaign, you too can become a chocolate investor and help turn our vision into reality.
