💨 Abstract

Former Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou, 39, has transitioned from football to the chocolate business, launching his own brand called Oume, inspired by his birthplace in Ivory Coast. He aims to highlight the country's significant role in chocolate production. Kalou, who won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2012, hopes to bring his chocolates to prestigious UK stores. Despite the market challenges such as rising cocoa prices, he remains optimistic.
