Amonu is more than just a chocolatier; it’s a celebration of Ghanaian craftsmanship, culture, and culinary artistry. Founded in 2017 by Nana Ama Ampomah, Amonu embodies the essence of creativity, quality, and dynamism in every handcrafted creation. Our journey began with a passion for chocolate and a commitment to showcasing Ghana’s rich cocoa heritage to the world.
Amonu, derived from the Akan name Gyamfua, symbolizes strength in leadership, creativity, dynamism, and charisma. Nana Ama Ampomah, alongside her daughter Amonu, embarked on the journey of “chocopreneurship,” fueled by a shared love for chocolate and a vision to create something truly exceptional. Guided by our values of creativity, quality, and dynamism, we set out to produce and market premium chocolate bars, truffles, and confectionaries, each infused with locally sourced fillings and flavors.
Based in Accra, our artisanal chocolates reflect the diverse flavors and cultural richness of Ghana. From dark chocolates to milk chocolates, infused with ginger, lemon, coffee, peanut, and coconut blends, each product is meticulously crafted to deliver a symphony of flavors that captivate the senses. Our commitment to promoting Choco-tourism is evident in our packaging, delicately wrapped and adorned with select Akan Adinkra symbols, each design intricately linked to Ghanaian culture and heritage.
At Amonu, we aspire to more than just crafting exceptional chocolates; we aim to elevate the visibility of Ghanaian cocoa locally and globally. Our mission is twofold: to establish a presence in select retail and tourism outlets locally, thereby promoting awareness and appreciation for our products, and to expand our export footprint in the near term, sharing the taste of Ghanaian excellence with the world.
We recognize the importance of raising awareness about the health benefits of cocoa, particularly in Ghana, where consumption levels are not as high as expected. As the world's second-largest producer and exporter of quality cocoa, it is essential to ensure that our citizens benefit not only economically but also nutritionally from this valuable resource. Through local consumption, we aim to create wealth, promote good health, and generate employment opportunities, contributing to the prosperity of our community and beyond.
