Vision, mission & values

Sigoji Main Mission

Woman… African… master chocolatier… Walloon terroir…

It was only Euphrasie Mbamba's passion to bring these words together in one and the same sentence! Born among the cocoa trees of the family plantation in Cameroon, she lives and practices her art today in Belgium.

With her gourmet nuggets and surprising chocolate creations , she combines pleasure, demands and love for her native land. Through a range of chocolates not afraid to shake up codes and taste buds , Euphrasie Mbamba wishes to share its know-how resulting from an ancestral tradition with respect for human beings and the earth .

This is the clash of cultures that Sigoji promises.

Guided by our values rooted in respect , from generation to generation, our mission will be to preserve cocoa and therefore the taste of “good chocolate” .

Our ambition will remain to keep our commitments; audacity; innovation with respect for the environment and fair remuneration for planters; superior quality and passion for taste!

These commitments lead us to be members of the “Committed Chocolatiers” , of the Belgian Fairtrade Federation BFTF , of Fostplus.

Company vision

Fusion of tastes and traditions that collide in order to arouse great emotions and shake up established codes ; Sigoji is the result of an unprecedented journey by a shock chocolate maker. It is also a taste assortment between the heritage of Africa , the Belgian tradition and the Walloon terroir .
This cultural assortment shakes up the established codes of chocolate through astonishing encounters and flavors.

A first bite of Sigoji chocolate is the intensity of a first cocoa bite!
