About Kakaokunde

Hi! I'm Heike and I love chocolate.

Especially the really intense ones with high cocoa content. People sometimes ask: doesn't all chocolate taste the same? Not at all. Much like coffee, chocolate is full of complexity.

The quality of the beans, their origin, the variety, and the way they are processed can change everything. Two bars can taste worlds apart because they grew in different soil or were roasted differently.

Together with my husband, we are always looking for new chocolates to try. The collection started in Apple Notes and grew into a database we can actually query.
