Organic Chocolate from Congo

Blanxart's Classic and Premium Origins series offer the ultimate selection of chocolates for the most discerning palates. Each bar is expertly crafted to reveal the unique aroma and character of cocoa beans sourced from various distant coastal regions.

Between the vast East African savannahs and the lush Congo Basin rainforest lie the mythical "Mountains of the Moon," crowned with eternal ice caps. According to the ancient Greek geologist and astrologer Ptolemy, these 'Lunae Montes' are considered the legendary source of the Nile. The lower slopes of the Mountains of the Moon have a mild climate and unique terroir, where both exceptional vanilla and single origin cocoa beans flourish, offering a remarkable fruity aroma.

This beloved organic dark chocolate bar contains 82% cocoa, made from Forastero cocoa beans harvested in the Rwenzori Mountains in the tropical basin of eastern Congo. It is an aromatic chocolate with an exceptionally fine texture.

Vegan and gluten-free.

Does this Blanxart chocolate bar contain allergens such as milk, nuts or soy?

The bar itself contains only cocoa beans, sugar, cocoa butter and vanilla. The manufacturer does state that this chocolate is produced at a site where milk, nuts, soy, peanuts and sesame are also handled, so traces cannot be ruled out.

If you have an allergy, always go by the label on the packaging. That is the most up to date source.

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.

The bar is organically certified under control number ES-ECO-019-CT, which is also shown on the packaging.

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.
