About the bar
A subtle journey through different fruits – we detected apricot, fig and dried fruits as it melted. Spices were also present, with cinnamon and nutmeg alongside other warm, woody notes.
About the beans
For this bar, Stranger use a rare variety of Selva Tabasqueño cocoa, grown in the Sierra Madre mountain ranges of the Mexican state of Tabasco. These beans are from the March-June 2025 harvest.
About the maker
Born from a true passion to transform the Ukrainian chocolate industry, Stranger Chocolate was founded in late 2016 by designers Ruslan and Tetyana. Their mission: for people to enjoy the unique flavours of cocoa beans from around the world, without the use of slave or child labour through the cultivating process. Although Stranger has already racked up two Silver Awards and two Bronze Awards in the International Chocolate Awards 2021-22, what really makes them stand out is their sheer strength and endurance – Ruslan and Tetyana are still making chocolate at their factory in Poltava, Ukraine, with the help of their children, Anya and Matvii, despite the war knocking on their front doorstep.
