Preparing our drinking chocolate

We grind our chocolate for optimum solubility and a smooth, velvety hot chocolate. The mouthfeel is incomparable to what you can achieve with cacao powder which is the result of an intensive process removing all amazing cacao butter.

Working with ground chocolate offers an amazing versatility for preparation as it simply melts into your hot water, milk or plant-based.

about GoGround

Building committed relationships with their farmers is its core philosophy.

The green hills of the Idukki region are a delight for cocoa trees. The region sees plenty of sunshine and rainfall, and the cocoa pods are surrounded by fragrant spices and tall coconut trees. Despite these excellent conditions, fine flavour cocoa never received much attention in the Idukki region in South-India. Until GoGround entered the stage.

ABOUT ANH EM CACAO CO.

Farmers and their communities benefiting from award-winning cacao.

In the Dak Lak Province, cocoa is typically grown alongside coconut and fruit trees such as pomelo, banana and longan. Anh Em Cacao Co. was founded in 2017 by two school friends, Truong Minh Thang and Nguyen Duy Thong, who realized that the quality of the cocoa produced in Dak Lak could be improved. They did research on microbial biodiversity and post harvesting processes to optimize the flavour potential of the beans.
