Maker's comments | Farmer friendly cocoa straight from the source. Bean-to-bar in Madagascar. We were Peace Corps Volunteers in Madagascar. We fell in love with the country & people but wanted to do more. But how? We pay farmers a fair price for their cocoa. Then we do something unheard of, We make our chocolate IN MADAGASCAR. This creates 4 times the impact of fair trace cocoa. This one of the only fine chocolates made in Africa. |
A strong bar

Bitterness | Moderate |

Tasting Experience | The nice package opens-up a bitter flavour, very strong in earthiness. The bar melts nicely producing even more earthiness aroma, mixed with cacao and, surprisingly, a fair amount of acidity. The texture is pleasant by its softness. Surprisingly as well, the after taste is not as long as the initial strength would let you expect and is slightly acid. Overall, a strong experience but not as pleasant as its origin would let you expect. |
