About the bar
Fjak’s Dark 100% is made from beans grown, fermented, dried and modelled into the bar on site in the Semuliki forest, Uganda. Enjoy chocolate in its purest form – just cacao beans.
About the maker
Fjak crafts its small-batch chocolate in the depths of Hardangerfjord in Norway. Agur and Siv started making chocolate in 2015, but it was only in 2017 – after much experimenting and fine-tuning their processes – that they launched to immediate success. They’ve swept the board since then, picking up awards galore with their unique Nordic-inspired flavour combinations and exquisite single-origin dark and milk bars.
The beans
The beans for this bar were cultivated in the Semuliki Forest in Uganda. The cacao is grown by 1,002 organic Semuliki smallholder famers, 52% of which are women. Latitude Trace Co. (LTC), the company which processes and exports this cacao, has introduced 6 rural collection points to ensure easy access for the farmers, enabling them to sell fresh cacao every week into the network and receive their payment directly when they sell. LTC’s centralised fermentation facility and warehouse is located in the village of Bumate, which sits at the base of the hills leading into the mountains.

What do other people who've discovered Fjak - Semuliki, Uganda, Dark 100% have to say?
Very different from Original Beans – Cusco Chuncho 100%, or Friis Holm - La Dalia, Lazy Cocoa Growers Blend 100%. While these ones were very buttery and on the sweet\citrus side, this bar has a coarse grain and is more on the savoury side of the spectrum whit earthy\nutty flavours, at the opposite of the citrus fruity flavours. I also found it less punchy. Whether you will like it or not is a probably a question of taste, but it is definitely a chocolate of very good quality!
