A love letter to Africa, crafted in chocolate. 

Selassie Atadika left Ghana as a child and spent more than a decade working in humanitarian crises around the world with the United Nations. In 2014 she came home — to change the way we think about African food, and to lead that change through deliciousness.

Trained at the Culinary Institute of America and shaped by travel across more than 40 African countries, she founded Midunu to pioneer New African Cuisine: a way of cooking where culture, community, and sustainability meet on the plate. Her handcrafted chocolate truffles began as the final course of her celebrated nomadic dinners. Guests kept asking for more. Midunu Chocolates was born.

In 2025, Selassie became the first Ghanaian honoured with a TIME Earth Award, named one of seven global leaders reshaping the future of the planet. Her work has been featured by TIME, The New York Times, CNN, BBC, and The Financial Times.
Every Midunu chocolate carries that story: single-origin Ghanaian chocolate, chef-crafted, named for the African women who inspire her, and wrapped in the patterns of African textiles.
