In the heat and humidity of Western Uganda, smallholder farmers are producing extraordinary organic cacao that results in this dreamy and delightfully playful chocolate
.

While Semuliki Forest, Uganda evokes notes of fluffy marshmallow, berries & cream and toasted almonds, it’s simply the cacao’s origin talking – plus organic cane sugar and our obsession for preserving the flavours of provenance.

And because your senses are unique, you may discover characters and aromas others may not – that’s the magic of Foundry Chocolate.
