BOHO – ABOCFA, Ghana, 70% Dark

About the bar

This 70% dark bar from BOHO is leathery, with tasting notes of sherbet, citrus, and peppermint.

About the maker

Charlie Burke, the founder of BOHO, started his chocolate journey in the 1980s, when he opened a small chain of chocolate and confectionery shops in New England, USA. Having always wanted to craft their own chocolate, Charlie and his partner, Suzanne, set out in 2014 to learn how to make the very best bean-to-bar chocolate. They founded BOHO after a trip to South America with Taza Chocolate to visit farmers, cooperatives, and local chocolate makers. The name BOHO is short for Bohemian, which signifies their “organic, artistic, and independent approach to making quality chocolate.”

The beans

The beans in this bar were grown by the folks at ABOCFA, a 13-village farmer cooperative in Ghana known for producing some of the highest quality traceable cacao in the country. Unlike in other cocoa cooperatives, the beans at ABOCFA are not centrally fermented, so each farmer must be taught the best practices for fermenting and drying. The program has been successful, though, because ABOCFA beans are known the world over for making great-tasting chocolate.
