SIGOJI Chocolaterie
What is it you do?
“Euphrasie Mbamba, the founder of the Sigoji brand, was born on cocoa plantations in Cameroon. She lived with her grandfather until the age of 17, before coming to Belgium to pursue her studies.
After her grandfather’s death, she decided to take over the family plantation and launch the Sigoji chocolate factory.
Sigoji is all about a passion for cocoa. A 100% committed approach. Sigoji showcases cocoa beans sourced from African cooperatives, grown and harvested with respect for women, men and the environment.
An ethical approach in pursuit of a unique taste.
Production of chocolate from cocoa beans, as well as pralines, chocolate bars, chocolate treats and spreads.”
