Test the range on your own bench, before you buy volume.
Three 100g pouches of our core single-origin Ghana cocoa range, enough to temper a small batch, run a trial bake, or test a formulation in your own conditions. Same material, same batch documentation, same origin as the 25kg boxes.
Cocoa Butter · 100g
Natural Prime Press. Slip point 32 to 35°C, reported on the Certificate of Analysis, issued on request. Enough to test tempering behaviour and set.
Cocoa Mass · 100g
50 to 55% fat, micro-ground, 99.7% fineness at 75µm. Enough to taste the origin and check flavour against your current base.
Natural Cocoa Powder · 100g
Non-alkalized, 10 to 12% fat. Enough for a trial bake and to check colour, acidity and lift with bicarbonate of soda.
All three sourced direct from Ghana, COCOBOD-certified, and dispatched from our UK hub in Chelmsford, Essex.

The Ghana standard
Every product in this pack is single-origin Ghana, produced in Tema from COCOBOD-supplied beans and dispatched from our UK hub in Chelmsford, Essex.
COCOBOD regulation. Ghana Cocoa Board enforces mandatory quality grading at every stage: farm-gate purchase, district depot, port-side export. No other major cocoa-producing country runs this level of centralised quality control.
Post-harvest processing. 5 to 7 days fermentation. Sun-dried on raised platforms, then roasted. That is where the flavour compounds come from.
Traceability. COCOBOD grading plus our direct relationship with the facility means every batch traces back from Tema to the Ghanaian growing regions.
Why we exist
CocoaFoundry did not start with a business plan. Our family had been importing Ghanaian food products into the UK for years through the parent company, learning what actually goes wrong in a cross-continental supply chain and what it costs when it does. A customer asked us to find shea butter. The supplier who found it suggested we trial cocoa butter alongside it. One shipment, and the demand behind it did not stop.
Then an early batch of cocoa butter did not meet the standard our customers needed. We pulled every unit, took the loss, and went back to the beginning. That decision is the reason we buy the way we do now. It earned us a direct purchasing relationship with our partner facility in Tema, one of Ghana's leading cocoa processors, with no broker, no trader and no third-party warehouse between their line and our hub in Chelmsford.
That is the whole proposition. You are buying from the people who hold the relationship, not from a link in a chain, so the beans, the facility and the specification stay the same order after order. Family-run, and when something goes wrong we fix it and absorb the cost rather than pass it down the line. More on how we got here.
The detail
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Cocoa Taster Pack?
100g each of three single-origin Ghana products: Natural Prime Press cocoa butter, cocoa mass, and natural non-alkalized cocoa powder. Enough of each to test flavour, melt behaviour, crystallisation and baking performance in your own application before committing to larger volumes.
Should I buy this or ask for a free trade sample?
If you are sourcing 25kg or more, ask for the free trade sample. It costs you nothing and we can match the products to what you actually buy. Use the trade quote form on the Wholesale page, which now sits at the top, or email wholesale@cocoafoundry.co.uk. If you would rather not wait for a reply, or you are testing at a smaller scale, buy this pack and it goes out within 1 working day.
What does delivery cost on a taster pack?
£4.65 to most UK mainland postcodes, because the pack sits under the £50 free-delivery threshold. If you add anything else that takes the order over £50, delivery is free.
Who is the taster pack for?
Chocolatiers, bakers, cosmetics formulators and food manufacturers evaluating our single-origin Ghana range, and smaller makers who want to work with the same material without buying a box. If you are not sure which of the four cocoa products your process needs, which CocoaFoundry product is right for you compares them side by side.
Can I get trade pricing after testing the pack?
Yes. Email wholesale@cocoafoundry.co.uk or use the Wholesale page for trade pricing from 25kg, dispatched from our Chelmsford, Essex hub. Anything up to 20kg you can order directly in the shop with no quote needed.
Can I have a sample of cocoa nibs or shea butter instead?
Ask us. Nibs and shea are not in the standard pack, but we will include a sample of either. Email team@cocoafoundry.co.uk with your order number, or mention it on the trade quote form.
