ABOUT THE BAR
Sweet and dense, this dark 80% Ugandan chocolate starts with an intense flavour of wine fruit, which develops into notes of candied figs, dates, and stewed raisins that linger on the tongue.
ABOUT THE MAKER
The world of bean-to-bar chocolate has always been a passion for Juan Ángel Rodrigálvarez, a Spanish pastry chef with more than 30 years of experience. After spending many years tasting bars and educating others on what good chocolate really is, Juan decided he could give far more to the world by producing his very own chocolate. One of Kankel’s most principal philosophies is respect for the product, the plantations, and the land that gives the cocoa beans; thus, Kankel’s bars only use ethically-sourced, sustainable, and organic cacao.
ABOUT THE BEANS
The beans in this bar were sourced from Semuliki Forest Cacao, a grower-centred fermentery that works with over one thousand small-scale organic cocoa farmers. It lies in Bundibugyo, a district of western Uganda that borders the Semuliki National Park. Renowned for its cocoa production, the district also neighbours the Rwenzori Mountains, a diverse ecosystem that is legendary for holding the source of the Nile River.
