Nerdy things

Out of the Kilombero valley, in the heart of Tanzania, they collaborate with approximately 5000 smallholder farmers, 1514 organic certified From their home base in the small village of Mbingu (which means Heaven), they go out to meet farmers and purchase wet cocoa, directly from farmers' pods, paying more than they would receive if they were to ferment and dry the beans themselves. Since their inception they've consistently paid the highest prices for cocoa in Tanzania. In Kilombero, farmers have practiced organic cocoa farming for generations, without pesticides or inorganic fertilizers. They meticulously control post-harvesting creating a characteristically fruity and consistently high quality cocoa.

Samuel Murgatroyd

Originally from Manchester, Samuel Murgatroyd studied Painting at Camberwell College of Arts, UAL, and at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. His practice explores the intersection of digital construction and painterly touch. Using 3D modeling software, he builds and distorts simple forms into glitchy, game-like environments, which are then translated into oil on canvas.

The software’s crude limitations contrast with the slow, imperfect process of painting. Brushstrokes, texture, and human error bring vulnerability and presence to spaces that began as sterile code. This tension between machine precision and the fallibility of the hand is central to Murgatroyd’s work, transforming digital fragments into something tactile and open-ended.

In an era shaped by screens and AI, Murgatroyd is interested in exposing the seams and imperfections of the digital, making visible the hidden structures that shape perception. His work creates a space to pause and reflect on how technology mediates everyday experience.

Rough review

The strawberry note truly recalls the fruit itself, and if you don’t like acidic chocolates, you’d better go for something else. But if you’ve never tried an acidic chocolate before, you should: you might be surprised to find out how wrong the idea that dark chocolate is bitter can be. Perfect as a snack, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you source your cocoa?

We rely on thrusted importers that share the same vision of human rights, transparency and quality: ruvido is the result of hundreds of people, picking, processing, sorting, importing the product.

We are the last step of a chain and as such is our duty to show respect to those before us doing the best we can do present to you the best chocolate possible.

Why you choose to have just one a time single drop?

We think it is to important to underline how each cocoa is special and unique in itself. Even same plants and terroir will produce beans that taste slightly different each years influenced by both the climate of that year as well as any difference in temperature during fermentation.

Blending beans or working big volumes flatten high notes flavours that are the ones we sought after and that truly makes chocolate taste so differentL

For this reasons we decided to work low volume single drop in order to highlight how special each cocoa it is and make it shine.

How many bars do you produce for each drop?

It depends on how much was produced of the specific cocoa, the period of the year and our capabilty of processing volumes of cocoa .

Right now each drop is around 1.000 bars that it means one single sack of cocoa beans. In future we don't want to exceed 4.000 bars for each drop in order to respect the flavor of the specific beans.
