Back to the main subject,
Kasama chocolate is founded by a group of chocolate enthusiasts (they do meticulous research at scientist level!) , Kasama is dedicated to crafting exceptional bean-to-bar chocolate that tells a story of its origins. With multiple prestigious awards under its belt, they are recognized for its innovative approach and high standards in chocolate making.
They are deeply committed to ethical sourcing practices. They work directly with cacao farmers and cooperatives, ensuring that their beans are not only of the highest quality but also fairly traded.
This direct-trade model allows them to build strong relationships with the farmers, fostering transparency and sustainability throughout the supply chain. By paying a premium for their beans, they helps to ensure that farmers receive fair compensation for their hard work, contributing to more sustainable livelihoods.
Kasama's dedication to craftsmanship and quality has been recognized on the global stage. The company has earned several awards for its chocolate.
These accolades celebrate not only the unique flavor profiles of their products but also the transparency and sustainability that underpin their sourcing and production practices.
They are also guided by a deep commitment to sustainability.
From using eco-friendly packaging to supporting reforestation and biodiversity projects, they strive to ensure their environmental footprint is as rich and positive as the flavors they create. Their approach to crafting chocolate is about more than just taste; it's about fostering a connection between people, the earth, and the origins of each cacao bean.
From their humble beginnings to becoming an award-winning local brand, Kasama Chocolate continues to unite people through their love for chocolate, honoring its roots while celebrating the diverse, complex flavors of cacao.
Inspired by their chocolate-making expertise, Sam will create a delicious dessert that brings Kasama’s excellent chocolate flavour at our event.
