Organic Chocolate from Congo

Blanxart's Classic and Premium Origins series offer an exquisite selection of chocolates for the most discerning taste buds. Each bar is meticulously crafted to bring out the unique aroma and character of cocoa beans from several far-flung coastal regions.

Nestled between the vast East African savannahs and the lush rainforest of the Congo basin are the mythical "Mountains of the Moon," topped by eternal ice fields. As per the ancient Greek geologist and astrologer Ptolemy, these 'Lunae Montes' are thought to be the legendary source of the Nile. The lower regions at the base of the Mountains of the Moon enjoy a mild climate and have a unique terroir where both exceptional vanilla and single-origin cocoa beans flourish, offering a remarkable fruity aroma.

This cherished organic dark chocolate bar, with an 82% cocoa content, is crafted from Forastero cocoa beans, sourced from the Rwenzori Mountains in the tropical basin of eastern Congo. An aromatic chocolate with an exceptionally smooth texture.

Where does the cocoa for the Blanxart Congo Mountains of the moon come from and is the bar organic?

This bar is made from Forastero cocoa beans harvested in the Rwenzori Mountains, the so called Mountains of the Moon, in the tropical basin of eastern Congo. The chocolate itself is produced by Blanxart in Spain.

How do I store this Blanxart dark chocolate bar best?

We recommend storing the bar cool, dry and dark, preferably at around 15 to 18 degrees and tightly closed. Chocolate picks up odours fairly easily, so do not put the bar next to strong smelling products.

Do not put this chocolate in the fridge. The cold and the moisture can make the bar turn grey with bloom and it loses part of its aroma and its snap.
