Chocolate for Retail
Drinking chocolate Tanzania, Kokoa Kamili (70% dark) 1KG
The Kilombero Valley, Morogoro Region, Tanzania is bordered on one side by the Udzungwa mountains, part of which is protected by a national park. The founders of Kokoa Kamili were international development professionals who became frustrated with the top-down approach of many organizations. They decided that the most immediate form of benefit to the communities they work with would be to pay high prices for their products. This would allow farmers to decide for themselves how best to use this extra income. Farmers receive on average about 25% more payment for their cocoa from Kokoa Kamili. Moreover, Kokoa Kamili distributes seedlings to farmers as donations or at a low price, and provides training to farmers to help increase both the yield and quality of the cocoa they grow.

Ingredients:
Cocoa beans, cane sugar, cocoa butter.
Together with Na’Lu’Um Cocoa Institute, an association of local Maya cocoa farmers, they have delivered thousands of free saplings to these farmers and are supporting them with training and microfinance. Thanks to this initiative, about 204 cocoa producing families now have a steady, reliable source to sell their beans at a fair price and help them expand their agricultural activities to provide a better life for their families.
The post-harvest takes place in a centralised facility. The beans are fermented for 7 days in boxes made from Santa Maria wood. Once the fermentation process is complete, the beans are transported by wheelbarrow to drying tables. The beans remain on the wooden drying tables and are raked until they have reached a certain degree of appearance.

KRAK, Ermelo, the Netherlands
#text-2377074052 { font-size: 1.5rem; }Krak Chocolade is created by Mark Schimmel in Ermelo, The Netherlands, about 18km from our office! Although Krak Chocolade officially launched in 2013, Mark’s journey towards chocolate making developed over many years. Mark is a talented pastry chef who worked in three-Michelin-starred restaurants throughout Europe, before starting his own pastry and chocolaterie business. The more he worked with chocolate, the more he wanted to create it himself, from bean-to-bar. After initial experiments with micro batch chocolate making, Mark upgraded his equipment and started working with some of the finest cacao origins in the world.
- Mark creates a mixture of dark and milk single origin bars using ethically sourced cacao from small farms and estates around the world. Currently he’s using beans from Belize, Colombia, Cuba, Madagascar, Vietnam, The Philippines, Tanzania, Mexico and Saint Vincent & The Grenadines.
- Krak Chocolade sources its cacao beans via Amsterdam’s Daarnhouwer & Co., which guarantees traceability, diverse origins and high quality, fine-flavour cacao that is usually certified organic.
- Mark works with top chefs throughout Europe, creating chocolate that is specific to the chef’s needs, in terms of flavour profile and texture.
- Many of the bars have won awards at the International Chocolate Awards and the Academy of Chocolate Awards. The Sierra Nevada 55% Milk Chocolate won the Golden Bean Award for best bar at the Academy of Chocolate Awards 2021.
- Mark wants to transform the quality of chocolate used in fine dining restaurants, where the highest quality ingredients are used, but often alongside cheap industrial chocolate.
- All Krak Chocolade bars are wrapped in recyclable paper, with cacao origin and chocolate information hand stamped on each individual bar.
