“Kilombero is bordered on one side by the Udzungwa mountains, part of which is protected by a national park. The founders of Kokoa Kamili were professionals in international development who were frustrated with the top-down approach of many organisations. They decided that the most direct form of benefit for the communities they work with would be to pay high prices for their produce. The farmers would then be able to decide for themselves how to best use this extra income. Farmers receive on average about 25% more pay for their cacao from Kokoa Kamili. Additionally, Kokoa Kamili distributes seedlings to farmers as donations or for a low cost and provides farmer training to help increase both the yields and the quality of the cacao they grow.”

Mark Schimmel is an experienced pastry chef who fell in love with chocolate. Working in in three-start Michelin kitchens, he was introduced to the flavours that can be found in fine cacao. He founded Krak Chocolade and aims to stay as close as possible to the taste profile of the origin and accentuate what makes the each bean unique.Amsterdam port is the world's biggest cacao operation. The "commodity crop" flows through the port but the warehouses and traders also attract many speciality cacao shipments. Every chocolate maker in the world dream of having that many different cacao varieties just down the road and Mark takes full advantage. He focuses on making chocolate for Europe's top restaurants but we're delighted he also makes bars to share with everyone else. See more
