Title: Obroni and the chocolate factory
Description: What country makes the best chocolate?  Most people would answer "Switzerland" or, if they're discerning, "Belgium" or "France."  But, how many cocoa trees grow in Zurich?  Lyon?  Antwerp?  Shouldn't the country known for growing the best cocoa beans be the one that makes the best chocolate?  So, captivated by theories of international trade bit with precious little knowledge of cocoa or chocolate, Steven Wallace set out to build the Omanhene Cocoa Bean Company in Ghana - a country renowned for its cocoa and where Wallace spent part of his youth - in a quest to produce the world's first export-ready, single-origin chocolate bar.  What followed would be the true story of an obroni - white person - from Wisconsin taking on the ultimate entrepreneurial challenge.--INSIDE FLAP.
