Fossa – Yuzu Sea Salt, Dark Milk 54%

About the bar

Yuzu is an incredibly aromatic citrus fruit that has the ability to brighten any dish and is commonly used in traditional Japanese cuisine. The extremely creamy 54% Tanzanian dark milk chocolate has notes of biscuit, pairing fantastically with the refreshing citrusy aroma from the Yuzu and the salty Sea Salt. A perfect refreshing afternoon snack with a cup of tea!

About the maker

The fossa is a cat-like mammal indigenous to Madagascar, just like the craft chocolate Yilina and Jay tasted years ago that first started their chocolate journey. Yilina and Jay’s first taste of craft chocolate was a Madagascan dark bar, and they were instantly hit by wonderful flavours of refreshingly tart raspberries and warm almonds. This moment opened the pair’s eyes to how craft chocolate can have such flavour clarity – so different from the normal mass-produced industrial chocolate they grew up with.

The beans

The beans for this bar were sourced from Kokoa Kamili in the Kilombero Valley, Tanzania. Kokoa Kamili has been paying premium prices for wet cocoa since 2015, saving farmers the tasks of fermentation and drying and adding enormous value to their cocoa beans. In the height of harvest season, Kokoa Kamili employs 50 people from their village, and has set up a scholarship fund for local girls to go to the nearby secondary school.
