An 80% Madagascan dark chocolate from Belgian producer Chocolatoa, featuring bright notes of red fruit and citrus from Trinitario beans.
The Madagascar Sambirano Valley 80% is produced by Chocolatoa, a bean-to-bar maker based in Belgium. This bar highlights the specific characteristics of cocoa sourced from the Sambirano Valley in Madagascar, a region renowned for producing high-quality cacao. The focus here remains on the raw potential of the bean variety, which is exclusively Trinitario.
The sensory profile of this bar is defined by a light roast and the use of a melanger for refining, which preserves the inherent brightness of the Madagascar origin. Enthusiasts will find prominent notes of red fruit, citrus, and a clean acidity. The minimalist composition, consisting only of organic cocoa beans and organic cane sugar, ensures that these fruit-forward characteristics remain the focal point of the tasting experience.
Chocolatoa maintains a commitment to organic standards, as evidenced by the certified organic status of this bar. The quality and production standards of this chocolate have been recognized by industry bodies, including a bronze award from the International Chocolate Awards in 2017 and a bronze award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2017.
