Encuentro’s Award-Winning 70% R.D. Congo Women of Virunga Chocolate

Encuentro’s 70% R.D. Congo Women of Virunga chocolate bar is a distinguished winner of the Epicure d’Or 2021 in the chocolate category. This prestigious award was given by a panel of chefs, journalists, and fine grocers at the Epicures de l’Epicerie Fine on June 14, 2021.

The chocolate is celebrated for its intensity and elegance, a delightful surprise to the Encuentro team. It features a deliciously complex profile with notes of dried bananas, spices, and blond tobacco.

The story behind this tablet is as rich as its flavor. The Femmes de Virunga project, initiated by Hilde de Beule and Original Beans, aims to transform the lives of women in Congo’s North Kivu region, historically affected by civil wars. By developing an organic cocoa and agroforestry sector, the project provides employment and education opportunities for local women. Additionally, it contributes to preserving the magnificent Virunga National Park, a sanctuary for the last mountain gorillas.

Encuentro’s collaboration with Original Beans has made it possible to craft this exceptional chocolate, bringing the remarkable cocoa of this region to chocolate connoisseurs worldwide.
