About the maker

Patrick and Peggy’s chocolate story began during the trip of a lifetime. Hopping on their bikes, the pair spent months cycling around Iran, Nepal, India and Mexico, before deciding to travel through the scarcely inhabited landscape of Belize. While travelling through the mountainous landscapes in the south of the country, the pair ran into the descendants of the Mayas, who were cultivating cocoa in the dense tropical rainforest according to centuries-old traditions. After returning to their home in eastern Germany, Patrick and Peggy found themselves dreaming of importing and distributing Mayan cocoa all across Europe, but soon learnt that most chocolates on the supermarket shelf are made from industrially produced cocoa mass and that there was no market for high-quality cocoa. The solution: to make chocolate themselves!

The beans

The beans for this bar have been sourced from the Fazenda Liara, located on the Cocoa Coast in the south of Bahía in Brazil. This 36-hectare plantation is family owned, with facilities to grow, ferment, and dry the beans. The area is also home to native wildlife and fruits such as cupuaçu, açai, and guaraná, as well as spices such as cinnamon and vanilla.
