About the maker

Established officially in 2020, Mellow Chocolate was born in one of Copenhagen’s old wooden attics. Jacob, a former chemical engineer working in the food tech industry, went to visit his brother’s small coffee roastery in Panama. While there, Jacob visited some coffee farmers in the north-east region, where one of the farmers had a small cocoa plantation and a small bean-to-bar workshop – and the dream began. Jacob returned home from his trip with a suitcase full of cacao beans, and armed with only a coffee roaster, Jacob began to experiment in his small wooden attic storage space. Today, Mellow Chocolate develop their bars from a scientific view, with the intention of maintaining the high amount of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins in the hand-picked cacao beans.

The beans

The beans for this bar are sourced from Kokoa Kamili, a social enterprise fermentary who operate by purchasing ‘wet’ cocoa beans directly from smallholder farmers, and then ferment and dry the beans following its post-harvest protocol. The cacao beans are all sourced from the Kilombero Valley, Morogoro Region, so as to raise the profile of Tanzanian cocoa.
