Our roots
Grown in Ghana. Crafted with purpose.
A family legacy in cocoa, generations deep — and a company built to bring it all the way to the box.
Our roots
After experiencing the exquisite taste of Nama chocolate while traveling abroad, Ella made it her mission to bring high-quality chocolate to everyone. She founded Cocoa Asante in 2018.
While it is a fairly new company when it comes to chocolate products, the company's history in the cocoa industry dates back generations. Due to its reputation for producing the best cocoa beans, sixty-five percent of the world's cocoa comes from the west coast of Africa. Ella's family has contributed to this thriving industry through their cocoa farms. Cocoa Asante seeks to extend this familial legacy.
Pure. Authentic. Excellent. That is what we bring to you, because that is who we are.
Our vision
Our vision has always extended beyond making exceptional chocolate. We want to help build a future where more of the value created by Ghanaian cacao stays in Ghana.
We're working toward vertical integration, with the goal of manufacturing semi-finished chocolate goods in Ghana. By bringing more of the processing and production closer to where the cacao is grown, we hope to create greater economic opportunities and strengthen the communities that have shaped our founder's family legacy.
Today, our bean-to-bar chocolate is crafted in Chattanooga using Ghanaian cacao sourced from Three Mountains Cocoa through Cocoa Latitudes. It's an important part of our journey, but it isn't the finish line.
We're building Cocoa Asante with the belief that exceptional chocolate and a stronger future for the people and places behind it should go hand in hand.
By purchasing Cocoa Asante, you are supporting a movement that values sustainability, fair trade and public transparency. While we are not yet bean to box, the chocolate that we currently use is ethically sourced from Ghana.
