the seeds of kokoa

What makes Sri Lankan cocoa unique?

every kokoa bar begins with the cocoa bean

We work closely with carefully selected cocoa farmers across Sri Lanka to source high quality cocoa and celebrate the character of locally  grown beans.

Sri Lankan cocoa is a finger print of the land.

​

Grown alongside the island's rich mix of flora.

 

Pepper. Rubber. Tea. Cinnamon.

Each leave their own subtle mark on the cocoa.

​

The result is a bean with a flavour that

could only come from Sri Lanka.

great chocolate is made through a series of carefully controlled transformations.

At our chocolate factory in Ambalangoda, our team takes the beans through every stage of the chocolate making process: from roasting through winnowing, grinding,  conching, tempering and molding. Each stage has been perfected to give your chocolate bar the best flavour, texture and finish.
