São Tomé is a small island located on the equator in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of Africa. Its volcanic soil and equatorial climate are so well suited to cocoa trees that São Tomé has been dubbed “the chocolate island”. Its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean gives the beans from the Vila Gracinda Plantation a hint of iodine from the ocean spray. This 67% cocoa dark chocolate reveals echoes of the volcanic soil and unique seascape with its roasted, spicy and herbaceous flavour, culminating with tropical fruit and liquorice sticks.

This chocolate lends itself to producing unique and characterful creations.
