Only a few countries share this exceptional privilege of having some of the most aromatic cocoa beans on the planet. Madagascar is the only African country to be labeled 100% "fine cocoa" for all of its production, it is positioned in a niche market.
Connoisseurs appreciate Malagasy chocolate for its floral notes, its hint of acidity and its slight astringency on the finish.
The chocolate is produced from cocoa beans mainly from the Ambanja region (95% of national production), which benefits from ideal climatic conditions for this so-called equatorial culture.
