Details

This organic dark chocolate from Blanxart has 82% cocoa and is made from Forastero cocoa beans grown in the Rwenzori Mountains, in the tropical basin of eastern Congo. It is part of Blanxart's Classic and Premium Origins series, in which each bar is made to bring out the aroma and character of cocoa from one particular growing region.

Where the cocoa comes from

The Rwenzori range lies on the edge of the Congo basin and is often identified with the Mountains of the Moon that the ancient geographer Ptolemy named as the source of the Nile. The foothills, where the cocoa grows, have a mild climate, and vanilla is grown there alongside single-origin cocoa. Beans from this area have a distinctly fruity aroma.

Taste and texture

With 82% cocoa this is a properly dark bar. It is aromatic, carries the fruity character of Rwenzori cocoa and has a very smooth texture. It is certified organic, and it is both vegan and gluten-free.

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.
