Sao Thome

70% cocoa content Dark like the heart of Africa. Strong, original and mysterious. São Tomé is the growing region with the smallest yield and one of the best Criollos in the world. This goes well with strong, full-bodied wines with a warm tannin structure, such as Rioja, Salentino, Cabernet, Brunello, Merlot, Barolo, Primitivo, Carmenère, Malbec, Banyuls, Sherry and Port. São Tomé e Príncipe chocolate is made from the best Criollo in the world. The cocoa for the 70% chocolate comes from the heart of Africa. Sao Tomé and Principe is known for its small production of cocoa. These two islands, especially Principe, are home to the original plant of the Forastero Amelonado. The remoteness of the island allowed the plant to reproduce and grow largely naturally. The isolation also meant that there was hardly any hybridization worth mentioning, but the plant was preserved in its pure form. In 1822, Sao Tomé was the first African country to import cocoa plants from South America. Some descendants of these plants can still be found today. This exclusive chocolate goes very well with a full-bodied wine such as Rioja, Salentino, Cabernet, Brunello, Merlot, Barolo, Primitivo, Carmenère and Malbec or with sweet wines such as Port, Banyuls and Sherry.

For Father's Day, but also Mother's Day, chocolate is a present that is not an everyday occurrence.
