Lucocoa
Meet Amarachi Clarke, founder of Lucocoa. Self-described chocolate crusader and activitst, Clarke started making chocolate from imported cacao beans in 2015.
Based in South East London, Lucocoa's mission is to make the best bean-to-bar chocolate possible from the highest quality ingredients. You might be surprised to hear that doesn't include refined sugar, only coconut sugar and lucuma, a superfood fruit from Peru.
Hence the name: Lu-co-coa. It's lucuma, coconut sugar and cocoa beans rolled into one delicious word.
More from Amarachi Clarke
" As the chief chocolate maker, I take my time to understand our beans. I have learnt to know when the right time and temperature to roast them is and how long to grind the beans on our stone rollers."
