Mint is the cool cat of the herb family. In ancient Greece mint was a symbol of hospitality, the leaves were rubbed on tables to welcome guests into their homes.
This bar is a dark-milk chocolate, a beautiful blend of cacao from Soma's favourite farms and growing regions. The chocolate is buttery and luscious, a perfect base for spearmint to dance around on. Let a piece melt in your mouth and enjoy the feeling of waking up from a deep delicious nap filled with fresh new ideas.
Soma’s first space was in a tiny corner of a former whisky distillery. They started off roasting and winnowing cacao beans, refining and conching their own chocolate, spinning gelato, baking cookies, making hot chocolates, and producing a line of truffles. (whew!) A small retail portion would fold out during the day, and like a transformer, fold back in at night. It was here that they started meeting a community of very interesting folks with a healthy appetite for great chocolate.
What does SOMA mean?
Soma in Sanskrit means “food of the Gods” By coincidence, Theobroma Cacao which is the Latin name for the cacao tree also means “ food of the Gods”
In Aldous Huxley’s novel, “Brave New World” Soma was the substance that kept everyone in a constant state of bliss. Soma is also referenced in the Rig Veda as being the mysterious plant used to achieve nirvana. To date there is much speculation but no clear consensus on the exact identity of the plant.
