This 70% Madagascar dark chocolate bar features cacao from the Sambirano Valley, defined by bright citrus and red fruit notes with crunchy cacao nibs.
Produced by Green Bean to Bar Chocolate, a Japanese maker specializing in handmade bean-to-bar processes, this Madagascar 70% - Nibs bar highlights the specific characteristics of the Sambirano Valley. The maker oversees the entire production cycle from raw bean to finished bar, maintaining a focus on traditional, small-batch techniques.
The sensory profile of this bar reflects the signature acidity of Madagascan cacao. It offers distinct notes of citrus and red fruit, balanced by the inclusion of cacao nibs which add texture and intensity. The recipe is intentionally minimal, consisting only of cacao beans and organic sugar to let the natural fruitiness of the origin take center stage.
Quality and attention to detail remain central to the maker, which earned an International Chocolate Awards Asia-Pacific Silver medal in 2023 for this bar. The resulting 55-gram tablet represents a precise approach to chocolate making, where the focus remains on the purity of the source material.
