As we continue to celebrate Women's History Month, I am BEYOND excited to sit down for chocolate and conversation with Hawa Hassan. This powerhouse of a woman continues to surprise and inspire me. And YES, we have a truffle named after her in this season's Discovery Collection. Can you guess which flavor it is??




Hawa Hassan, a James Beard award winner is a culinary triple threat: dynamic chef, TV personality and entrepreneur. She's the founder of Basbaas foods, a line of condiments inspired by her home country of Somalia, a fast-growing brand that has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, Eater and more. Her first cookbook-meets-travelogue, In Bibi's Kitchen, shares recipes and stories from grandmothers—or bibis—in eight African countries, bordering the Indian Ocean.

In Ghana, February 14 is not just Valentine's Day; it is also National Chocolate Day. It is part of the efforts to produce, process, and consume more chocolate in-country. Investments such as these in the African food system and foodways are necessary to rebuild the destruction caused by slavery, colonialism, and cash crops.

Thank you for helping us elevate and reclaim the narrative that luxurious, aesthetically beautiful chocolates, using indigenous African ingredients and culinary knowledge, can add value to the economy and be 'Made in Africa'.

Thanks for joining us on this journey with

Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Chocolate Day! 💕

On this national Farmer's Day in Ghana 🇬🇭, we celebrate all the amazing farmers who make it possible for us to eat well and are a pillar of our economy. With a cocoa heritage dating back to 1879, Ghana is renowned for the quality and quantity of its cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate. The traditional method of fermenting cocoa beans in plantain and banana leaves instills a unique flavor, while the country's quality control system provides consistency. We would be nothing without you. Ayeeko!!
