FAQs
Why is single-origin chocolate more expensive than regular chocolate?
Single-origin implies direct interaction with farmers and more care for the cacao crops. The chocolate maker is thus invested in ethical sourcing of ingredients and this higher quality costs more to produce.
What is single-origin chocolate?
SIngle-origin means that all of the cacao beans used to make the chocolate come from one place rather than a blend of beans from different regions. This translates to more nuanced flavors and appreciation for the farming and processing of the cacao beans.
How is the chocolate shipped?
The chocolate is securely packaged and shipped in cardboard boxes. Ice packs are included in the warmer months.
Where do you ship?
Bibamba ships within the continental US, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
Is dark chocolate good for you?
Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and typically has less sugar than milk chocolate. It can boost serotonin levels which can improve one's mood.
