Africa Bound!


Ben Taylor of Stafford’s Chocolates and Mama Ganache Artisan Chocolates is Africa bound! In a quest to learn as much as possible about how chocolate is grown, processed and exported, Ben will be traveling with Chef Tom Neuhaus and Project Hope & Fairness to Côte d'Ivoire (the Ivory Coast). While there, Ben and Tom will be visiting multiple villages to see cocoa farms firsthand, learn about harvesting processes and visit with those whose livelihoods are directly tied to the chocolate we know and love. Along the way, the focus will be on sustainability with a goal towards helping African cocoa farmers to manufacture chocolate in their own villages and export their product directly to the U.S and the E.U. We are looking forward to sharing in Ben’s adventure over the next week and are excited to share his travels with you!

Most passengers have a fantasy of having luxury seats but fear the expensive cost. It is true that you can save quite a good sum of money by flying on Tuesdays. It is a favorable day and day to travel on the best and cheapest business class flights. You do not need to travel during this period, hence the low cost of the flights. It is an excellent means of spending high quality food and beds. You need to start searching early in order to locate these rare gems.

What an inspiring journey — so cool to see you going all the way to Côte d’Ivoire to learn about where chocolate really comes from. It’s powerful that you’re shining a light on sustainability and giving cocoa-farmers a fair chance to make chocolate right at home. Thanks for sharing this behind-the-scenes adventure!
