La Reine Astrid – N’Kog Ekogo, Cameroon, White 38%

About the bar

This is a smooth and creamy 38% white chocolate from La Reine Astrid. This bar is one of the few white chocolates that have been produced with undeodorised cocoa butter and without added flavouring, creating a rich umami flavour that blends perfectly with the smoothness of the cacao.

About the maker

In 1935, Fernande Gobert named her chocolate company after the beloved Queen Astrid, Swedish princes and wife of King Leopold of Belgium, who died in a tragic car accident that same year. The company is now owned by Christophe Bertrand, who has established farmer cooperatives in Haiti and Cameroon. His mission is to develop further the company’s high-quality, fine-flavour, and ethical chocolate while supporting cocoa bean producers and increasing their local revenue.

The beans

The beans for this bar are sourced from from La Reine Astrid’s cooperative in N’Kog Ekogo, in the Lekié region.
