Cocoa Hernando are delighted to announce the launch of an exciting new chocolate bar to celebrate the country & flavours of Syria at the Makegood Festival, Selfridges Hotel, London which runs from May 30th – June 1st 2014.

The bar will be a stunning 70% dark chocolate with Damascan Rose & features more beautiful vintage-travel inspired packaging – this time involving the hypnotic Dervish Whirlers of Damascus.

Cocoa Hernando are also very proud to announce that the bar will also be their first venture into philanthropy with 10% of the profits going to a Syrian Humanitarian Appeal in association with The Philanthropy Club. The appeal aims to reduce the health burden on the millions of Syria’s internally displaced people. The chocolate company also plan to look at other ways of raising money for the cause, starting with an event on June 11th at the Hoxton Hotel in London.

Paul Tomlinson, founder of Cocoa Hernando, comments: “I am so excited about this new chocolate bar which not only tastes incredible but also aims to celebrate a beautiful country which currently has very little to celebrate. It was always an original aim of Cocoa Hernando to give something back to the countries of the products, so this is a very proud moment for me.”

The bar will have a RRP of £5 & will hopefully be appearing in the finest stores from June.
