HISTORY
Afrikoa Chocolate is a South African bean-to-bar chocolate company founded in 2015. We were inspired by the high-quality cacao beans grown on African soil and the lack of fine Made in Africa chocolate on the market. We started by sourcing cacao beans directly from farmers in Tanzania and began making chocolate from scratch in a small kitchen in Cape Town.
Afrikoa’s chocolate quickly gained recognition for its unique and complex flavours, and the company grew rapidly, expanding its operations to a larger facility. The company emphasizes on sustainability and ethical practices, working directly with farmers to ensure fair compensation and environmentally friendly farming practices.

DID YOU KNOW
Cacao trees were cultivated by the Mayans over 1500 years ago? They used the beans to make a bitter and frothy drink, which they believed had divine and healing properties. The tradition was later passed down to the Aztecs and eventually brought to Europe by the Spanish conquistadors, where it was sweetened and popularized.
