Tanzanian Single Origin Chocolate

Tanzanian chocolate is made with cocoa grown chiefly around Lake Malawi in the south of the country, which Cacao Barry describe as Tanzania's most developed cocoa area. The crop is a mix of Criollo and Trinitario, so it carries more aromatic complexity than West African Forastero. We stock Cacao Barry's Tanzanie 75% dark couverture.

Why Choose a Tanzanian Couverture?

Tanzania is a small origin by world standards, and that is the appeal. Far less Tanzanian cocoa circulates than Ghanaian or Ecuadorian, so it gives you something less familiar to put in front of customers, with a story tied to one corner of East Africa.

What Is Tanzanie 75% Like to Work With?

It has vegetal and woody notes lifted by a hint of citrus, and runs at a very high fluidity despite its 75% cocoa content, opening up work a heavy dark chocolate would struggle with. It supports the Cocoa Horizons Foundation.
