Femme Organic Dark Milk Chocolate 50%

An exceptional organic dark milk chocolate, made from rare Amelonado cocoa beans grown by a pioneering women’s cooperative in Eastern Congo, and the rich milk of Swiss Brown cows that Graze in small herds on lush mountain pastures. Amelonado beans give this bar its gentle yet striking flavour, reminiscent of honey on buttered toast. Handmade, designed and packaged in a micro chocolate factory in Edinburgh, Scotland. All packaging is plastic-free and made in the UK. Outer packaging is printed on FSC certified sustainable card. Inner film is certified home and industrial compostable. Made by Ocelot.

Fact Worth Knowing: Centuries of exploitation and decades of armed conflict have made Eastern Congo one of the poorest countries and one of the harshest to be a woman. This bar is named in honour of these incredible, pioneering women, who have overcome hardships that most of us can only imagine. The female led cooperative is paid more than 2x Fairtade price. Not only have they created a livelihood and future for themselves and their children, they are also actively protecting and nurturing the natural biodiversity of their homelands in Virunga National Park - Africa’s oldest nature reserve, and home to the last of the Mountain Gorillas.
