Breaking the bar is the ritual.

Every box is built around one shared moment. The first card you lift out has a code to our tasting playlist, so the whole table learns to taste the same way, at the same time. No booking, no host, nothing to set up.

  1. Gather round The lid says open together. Wait for the team.
    Press play Scan the tray card and put the tasting guide on the meeting-room screen.
  2. Break and pass Snap each bar in its wrapper and pass it round. Noudji, then Tchêlê.
    Taste, then talk Ask the person next to you which one takes them somewhere.

Tasting guide

Take your time. Listen, look, smell, then taste.

Our story

A LIFE IN FOOTBALL, a yearning for HOME.

Salomon Kalou grew up in Oumé on a family farm with his parents and eleven siblings. Among many other things, the farm grew cacao.

Football took him across Europe and Latin America, six years of it at Chelsea. Wherever he went, chocolate brought back home. That yearning became Oumé.

The same story is on the card in every box
