Read moreGhana 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.

Read moreIf 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.
Read moreThis 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.
Read moreIf 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.
Read moreThis 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.
