For the love of all things CACAO It started as an idea: make chocolate from bean to bar at the foot of Table Mountain. And so, Cocoafair started making chocolate in late 2009. Since then, their love for chocolate has grown into a full-out obsession with all things cacao. Their approach to making chocolate is one of simplicity. They buy their cacao directly from the farmers, and it must be sustainably grown and contain no cadmium or lead. They keep things as natural as possible and don't alkalise their beans and vary roasting profiles per batch to highlight the flavours from each specific harvest. Cocoafair also offers factory tours (booking is essential) where visitors can learn more about the process. Use the code G0XR5NT2TSMC for a 20% discount on your online purchase of R100…
