Luisa began partnering with communities along the Acará, Iolanda and Bico rivers in 2015. Nowadays, they are collecting upwards of 1800 tonnes of wild cocoa per year. This is an astonishing feat considering that, unlike what happens on a farm, foragers have to travel many kilometres deep into the world's largest tropical jungle - battling heat, humidity, bugs, and other dangerous wildlife - without knowing exactly where to find the wild beans. The finished result is indeed something special, as this bar offers unparalleled flavours that are neither too sweet, nor too bitter, and have a long, lovely lingering brownie crust quality.

Imagine trekking deep into the world’s largest rainforest, battling the heat and humidity and inherent dangers, with no modern technology or animal companions, in search of ancient cocoa trees. Pretty cool, huh? That's reason #1 why I love Luisa Abram's chocolate. The second reason? The incredible, unique flavours that come from these ultra-rare beans. Some of these beans haven’t been tasted for centuries, ever since they were first planted by Jesuit missionaries. It's like taking a taste of history. And it's not just about the chocolate; it's about respecting tradition, preserving biodiversity, and working closely indigenous communities. Plus, it's a family thing – Luisa, her parents and sister, and the over 850 families they partner with.
