Sustainably Grown, Community-Driven

Sourced from over a thousand organic smallholder farmers – 52% of whom are women – in Bundibugyo, Western Uganda, Semuliki Forest cacao embodies a deep-rooted community connection. Farmers hand-deliver fresh cacao weekly to rural collection points established by Latitude Trade Co., receiving fair, immediate payment for their harvest.

 

Rich & Complex Flavor Profile

Tasting Notes:

Fig – A subtle, natural sweetness rounds out the flavor

 

Expert Fermentation & Drying for Superior Quality

The cacao undergoes careful fermentation and drying at Latitude Trade Co.’s central facility in Budapest, strategically placed at the foot of the mountains. This location maximises sunlight exposure while expertly managing Uganda’s heavy rainfall, ensuring a consistently high-quality end product.
