Maker Comments | Between the East African savannahs and the vast rainforests of the Congo basin, lie the legendary, ice-covered Lunae Montes. According to the ancient Greek geographer and astronomer, Ptolemy, these Mountains of the Moon were the mythical source of the Nile. Here over 100 small farmers work in collaboration taking advantage of a mild climate and unique terroir to yield a very distinct vanilla and an exceptionally floral single origin cacao. The Mountains of the Moon cacao is organically grown and Fair for Life certified, with each farmer trained to be stewards of the land. Our cooperative model ensures that our farmers can build a strong future for themselves and their families through the organic farming of vanilla and cacao. The 82% Congo chocolate has hints of berries, citrus, and vanilla. |
