The Amelonado cocoa used for this organic milk chocolate comes from Virunga, the oldest national park in Africa, located in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Long-term exploitation and armed conflicts have made the Eastern Congo one of the poorest regions in the world. Since 2013, with the “Femmes de Virunga” project, ORIGINAL BEANS has been supporting women in the North Kivu province to improve their social and economic position. The chocolate pioneers stand for sustainability, community empowerment, and regenerative agriculture.
