Origin / Influence: NIGERIA 🇳🇬
Not your average bar of chocolate, this 62% single-origin Nigerian dark chocolate is flavored with suya spice - the bold, complex seasoning of West Africa's most beloved street food.
- Suya spice: Blend of ground peanuts, ginger, chili pepper, and aromatics; this nutty, warm, and rich seasoning in dark chocolate creates a sophisticated flavor experience.
- Single-origin Nigerian cocoa: The unique terroir of Ile-Oluji, Nigeria makes for rich, complex cocoa that sets it apart from commodity blended chocolate.
- Vegan, no fillers/emulsifiers: Luji's are crafted without soy lecithin used in mass-market chocolate; just cocoa, cane sugar, and suya.
For the adventurous chocolate lover who's tasted every chili chocolate and wants one that's genuinely new, or to have a bold chocolate for use in .
Origins
Suya is eaten across Nigeria, Cameroon, and Chad, typically skewered beef or chicken coated in a peanut-spice blend and grilled over open coals. The flavor is simultaneously nutty, smoky, slightly sweet, and building-hot — a combination that translates with remarkable logic to dark chocolate. Luji's is the first brand to bring suya spice into the premium chocolate bar format, and to do so entirely within Nigeria.
Taste: Nutty, Spicy, Creamy.
Texture: Smooth.
