Maker

Dandelion Chocolate

Dandelion is a small batch chocolate maker in San Francisco. Todd and Cameron, the founders have maintained an uncompromising quality with their sourcing, processing, and quality to produce great tasting bars. You'll notice that the majority of their bars are 70% with is done on purpose, so you can taste the unique difference each cacao from different countries have to offer. Both Todd and Cameron were tech geniuses located in Silicon Valley, where they started building their own chocolate equipment in their basement. Right in the middle of the craft chocolate movement starting to take over the country, they decided to tackle the adventure for themselves. Todd and Cameron wanted to produce high quality chocolate bars using only simple ingredients. Today, Dandelion produces over 12,000 bars monthly, and it’s still not enough to meet the demand for this great chocolate maker. Dandelion’s shop also boast wonderful variety of baked goods, hot chocolate and even daily tours of their chocolate factory.

Cacao Region

Morogoro, Tanzania

Morogoro is a large state in central Tanzania, known for its hot & humid weather and its large game preserves. The main source of cocoa in the region comes from the Kilombero Valley, the base of a central fermentary called Kokoa Kamili, which was founded in 2012. Since its introduction ot the country in the late 19th century, cocoa in Tanzania has been almost exclusively grown by smallholder farmers, and before the entrance of Kokoa Kamili, these farmers had very little incentive to produce better cocoa.

Cacao Estate

Kokoa Kamili

Started in 2012 by friends Brian LoBue and Simran Bindra, Kokoa Kamili is one of the few African-origin cocoas which have been universally praised around the world. The team, which is based in Tanzania’s Kilombero Valley, has achieved a remarkably consistent post-harvest process, setting a standard in the region by buying wet beans at a premium and fermenting & drying them in a central location. This garners them an exceptionally fruity and rich cocoa, grown right in the nation’s Udzungwa Mountains National Park. Kokoa Kamili now works with nearly 3000 farmers in the region, all of whom get paid a premium immediately for their wet cacao, lessening their workload while also increasing their income.

Fudgy with a light fruitiness

Fudgy liqueur aroma, tastes like fudge and honey with a light fruitiness (agree with « fresh pineapple »). A little less fruity than other Kokoa Kamili bars I've tried (eg. la Fèverie). Creamy mouthfeel. Very good.

Another fantastic bar

Dandelion truly is a miracle. I love them and appreciate all they do.

Love this bar

It’s got a nice flavor profile
