Kamili means “absolutely” in Swahili. This cocoa comes from the Kilombero Valley, a fertile region with a tropical climate located west of the Udzungwa Mountains in Tanzania.
Cultivated since 2015 by more than 4,000 small farms practicing agroforestry (including 1,200 certified organic farms), this cocoa is made from Trinitario and Neo-Nacional beans. It offers a rounded, slightly tangy aromatic profile with notes of red fruits (cherry, berry, plum) and floral hints (violet, rose).
Used in our Kamili 76% chocolate since 2020, it is perfectly suited for baking and pastry creations, as well as for our chocolate-coated dried fruits and clusters.
The beans are harvested, fermented, and dried before being shipped to Antwerp to Silva Cacao, where they are processed into micro-batches in our workshop using a bean-to-bar method: sorting, gentle roasting, stone conching for 3 days, and a 3-week resting period.
Each batch is processed separately to preserve its unique aromas, from grinding through to molding into bars or enrobing.
