Chocolate Manufacturer Sets Eyes On PNG Cocoa

Meurisse Chocolate NV, established since 1845, is using 100 percent cocoa beans from PNG farmers to produce the dark PNG chocolate brand that is 73% cocoa.

The company also mixes the PNG cocoa with nuts and other ingredients to produce several brands, including the dark caramel and almond brand.

Papua New Guinea's Ambassador to Belgium and the European Union, Joshua Kalinoe said the Embassy in Brussels has been promoting PNG products, including cocoa and it is really satisfying to see that the country now has its own brand of chocolate that can be sold in the EU market.
