For our Eat Pray Love POP Bag, Vao Vao Chocolate will be providing their 64% dark chocolate bars! Here is a little more about the decadent chocolate:

VAO VAO 64% is the perfect introduction to an authentic fine dark chocolate: well-balanced and mellow, it has a rich flavor profile with subtle notes of red berries and tropical fruit.

VAO VAO’s bean-to-bar process is time-intensive and artisanal, roasting the entire cocoa beans with the shell to capture the original cocoa flavor found on the island of Madagascar. And the fewer the ingredients, the purer and more refined the flavor!

Moreover, unlike numerous chocolate makers, VAO VAO is guaranteed single-origin, so you can enjoy the most authentic chocolate experience on the market.

A portion of the profits go to a micro-finance institution.
