Spicy Chocolate Flavor

Spicy chocolate is quite an interesting flavor that creates anxiety in every people. Usually, any chocolate is all sweet tasting but Yiga chocolate produces chocolate with spicy flavor. It gives a taste of spiciness when you swallow after chewing, and a sweet melt in the mouth. That’s a very unique taste as compared to any other chocolate. Other flavors like quinoa, ginger, and mountain blueberries taste like normal chocolates however it is mindfully handcrafted with local flavor infusions.

The Government, Ministry of Labour, and Human Resource supported Yiga Chocolate by employing two employees and also paid 75% of their salaries as part of the Ministry’s youth employment initiatives. The core source of business funding was from Loden and (Druk Holding and Investment) DHI. The Department of Cottage Industry also supported her start-up with a working space for two years.
