There’s something very poignant about eating chocolate made in a war zone. For some reason it was the foil that really got to me, thinking of someone hand wrapping it around a chocolate bar in a country with so much conflict.
Stranger Chocolate was started six years ago by Ruslan and Tetyana. They’ve won two prizes at the International Chocolate Awards, but despite living in Ukraine and being surrounded by war, they are still making chocolate with their two children, Anya and Matvii. Incredible. I tried two, the 100% cocoa and the 70%, both from the Dominican Republic. I tested the 100% without looking at the label (don’t ask) and while I knew it was strong I was surprised at the percentage, could this be a contender for my favourite thus far 100% (Firetree)?.
