Ghana

Ghana is responsible for about 21% of the world cocoa bean production which amounts to about 720 thousand tons a year. The only problem is that Ghanaian cocoa isn’t the most revered in the world, in fact it’s generally one of the sources of cocoa (along with the Ivory Coast), where most of the mass market, poor quality chocolate makers get their cocoa from. Saying that, Divine Chocolate get their cocoa from the Kuapa Kokoo co-operative of chocolate farms, and it is of a much better standard – as well as being Fair Trade.

Divine Dark Chocolate with Toffee & Sea Salt and Two Others

Here I consider the focus and approach of Divine through some chats I’ve had with their employees and representatives and as a result of trying three of their new bars.

Soma Chocolate Dancing In Your Head

May 16, 2012May 12, 2012 Lee McCoy 1 Comment

This blended bar from Soma Chocolate wasn’t as fantastic as Judith had suggested to me, or perhaps it was another of their bars? Although I still found it enjoyable and much better than much of the chocolate I’ve reviewed in teh last week.

Charles Chocolatier 70% Tablette

May 12, 2012May 11, 2012 Lee McCoy 1 Comment

This is quite possibly one of the most dull and uninteresting bars of dark chocolate I have ever had. There’s no aroma and almost no flavour. There’s a reason why mass-market chocolate companies use West African cocoa – because it’s cheap.

75% Dark Chocolate Ghana Pralus Rating 60%-64% Trinitario Venezuela 

Pralus Caracas 75%

October 26, 2011May 30, 2012 Lee McCoy 0 Comment

I’ve got to say that this Pralus Caracas 75% isn’t anywhere near as good as their previous bars. It uses Venezuelan cacao along with some from Ghana – which I don’t think does it any credit.

70% Dark Chocolate Amelia Rope Ghana Rating 60%-64% 

Amelia Rope 70% Ghana Single Origin

July 13, 2011November 14, 2011 Lee McCoy 0 Comment

Amelia’s other dark chocolate bars have been very good, I just felt that this one was a touch too sweet and lacking in any depth.

70% Dark Chocolate Easter Eggs Ghana Green & Blacks Rating 70%-74% 

Green & Blacks Organic Dark Chocolate Easter Egg

April 7, 2011June 23, 2012 Lee McCoy 0 Comment

If you’re looking for an organic dark chocolate Easter egg then give this one from Green & Blacks a try as its great value and taste taste pretty good – although its less bitter than I remember.

Czekolada Deserowa Prażone Ziarno Kakao

March 10, 2011November 14, 2011 Lee McCoy 0 Comment

This 70% Dark Chocolate From Ghana bar from Manufactura Czekolady was a lot sweeter than I thought. Instead of having an acidic tone, it was more fruity and sweet.

Manufaktura Czekolady Kwiat Soli Morskiej

January 23, 2011December 28, 2010 Lee McCoy 0 Comment

If you want an old-fashioned, natural tasting dark chocolate bar with a sea salt flavour then look no further than this Manufaktura Czekolady bar. The only problem is you can only buy it in Poland.

La Maison Du Chocolat Akosombo 68% Dark Chocolate Bar

March 19, 2010September 11, 2013 Lee McCoy 0 Comment

This 68% dark chocolate bar from Ghana was a real pleasure to review. It was rich in flavour. There may not have been a robus character, but sometimes its just nice to have something a bit more fruity.
