About Bantu Chocolate
Bantu Chocolate is a single-estate chocolate maker founded by Veronique Mbida, who grows the cacao on her family's farm in Cameroon and turns it into bean-to-bar chocolate at a London cacao house. The farm was started in 2016, and the online shop is run by Aquarius Omens Ltd (Companies House 12812518), incorporated in August 2020 with Mbida as director.
What Bantu Chocolate sells
- Single-estate bars including Noire 73% dark, Black Earl 60% flavoured with Earl Grey, Limbe 55% vegan milk made with coconut, and Nostradamus toasted white
- Gift selections of mini bars: Delta Equinox, Karnak Solstice with nuts and Earl Grey, and Philae Eclipse with pistachio and date
- Spread The Word, a chocolate spread with maca, and the Sun Date bar filled with date caramel and peanut butter
- Boocha, a sparkling kombucha brewed from cacao fruit pulp, along with drinking cacao and cacao husk tea
- A build-your-own chocolate box, corporate gifting and wholesale supply to shops and restaurants
According to the brand's help page, every product is vegan, with no dairy or honey, and bars are packed in a home-compostable inner pouch inside an FSC-certified paper sleeve. The same page says the estate's pay is worked out backwards from the Anker Living Wage for rural Cameroon rather than from the cocoa market price.
Delivery and returns
UK delivery costs £3 and is free on orders over £28, a total that three bars are enough to reach. Orders leave within 1 to 3 business days and should arrive 1 to 3 business days after that. The FAQ explains that the chocolate is not sent outside the UK because it is perishable.
Bantu's terms and conditions say refunds are issued within 14 days of the original purchase. For storage, the help page recommends somewhere dry at 15 to 20°C and away from sunlight, and warns against the fridge because condensation causes sugar bloom.
Ways to save at Bantu Chocolate
A monthly subscription takes 15% off any bar, selection box, spread or Boocha (checked November 2026), with a minimum of three deliveries and the option to pause from the account page. Bundle and Save boxes have their own four-weekly subscription, and the site runs a refer-a-friend page.
