Ginger + Plantain Milk Chocolate
Luji's Chocolate

Origin / Influence: NIGERIA 🇳🇬

$10

This is 45% single-origin Nigerian milk chocolate with ginger and plantain chips, crafted start-to-finish in Nigeria by Luji's.

  • Authentically Nigerian: Luji's is the first single-origin chocolate brand processed start-to-finish in Nigeria; roasting, refining, molding, and packaging all happen in-country.
  • A true West African pairing: Ginger warmth and sweet, crunchy plantain chips are ingredients deeply embedded in Nigerian and West African cuisine.
  • Sustainably Modeled: Every bar sold funds a cocoa seedling for a farmer in Nigeria's cocoa-growing communities.
  • Cultivating Local Prosperity: West Africa grows 70% of the world’s cocoa but captures less than 1% of its value. Luji's exists to flip the script.

For the chocolate lover conscious about where their cocoa comes from, and for anyone ready to taste authentically Nigerian chocolate.

Origins

Luji's Chocolate was founded by Nigerian-American entrepreneur Iyin Akinlabi-Oladimeji, whose cocoa sourcing connects directly to Ile-Oluji, her ancestral home in Nigeria's cocoa heartland. The brand gained national attention via NPR's "How I Built This" after its 2022 Kickstarter campaign hit its goal in under six hours. The Ginger + Plantain bar reflects the vibrant flavor traditions of West African street food and home cooking.

Taste: Spicy, Sweet, Creamy.
Texture: Smooth.

How to enjoy

  • Eat a square slowly and enjoy the ginger warmth
