Handmade dark chocolate bar with good cocoa intensity, aromas of jasmine and orange blossom and hints of toasted hazelnuts, obtained from amelonado cocoa beans from the Satocao estate in São Tomé .

This small archipelago located in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of central-western Africa, has a unique microclimate that has given rise to a variety of cocoa beans with characteristic aromas.

Over the years, many cocoa plantations on the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe had fallen into disrepair and cocoa production, deeply rooted in the history of the archipelago, had declined. The Satocao Estate took up the challenge of reviving these once fertile lands by embracing the wisdom of traditional farming practices, respecting the environment and bringing the land back to productivity.

Since its inception, the estate has managed to place itself at the forefront of reforestation efforts on the island and has succeeded in uniting small and medium-sized farmers in self-sufficient village groups, which today form the foundation of a strong and vibrant community.
