Described as the “the bolder, older sibling” to the Latitude Semuliki bar. This bar the namesake of the mountains that look over the cacao plantations. This now famous cacao was included in the top 50 samples in the 2019 Cocoa Of Excellence Awards (and are a hot favourite to feature in the Dec 2021 list). From the base of the Rwenzori, the Semuliki Forest cacao is collected by Latitude from between 1000-1500 small farmers as wet beans and fermented and dried by them centrally. Look for notes of bright fresh fruits and enjoy this bar knowing you are supporting a transparent and socially responsible supply chain.
