The Virunga region lies at the crossroads of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The area is threatened by ongoing deforestation caused by illegal logging and encroaching small-scale agriculture.

  • Our journey

    FROM BEAN TO BAR

    Grown with purpose 

    We source our cocoa directly from farmer cooperatives in agroforests that protect biodiversity and restore ecosystems. By paying well above market prices, we ensure farmers earn a living income — supporting local healthcare, education, and sustainable farming.

    Shipped with Purpose

    Some of our cocoa travels to Amsterdam the old- school way — by sailboat. It’s slower, but saves over a ton of CO2 per trip. We keep our logistics short and clean, using cargo bikes, trains, and low-emission partners wherever possible. 

    Crafted in Amsterdam 

    In our solar-powered factory, we roast, grind, conche, and mold every bar ourselves. From second-hand machines to compostable wrappers, every choice we make reflects our commitment to delicious chocolate that’s good for people and the planet.
