The Starbucks Reserve Madagascar 70% is produced by Green Bean to Bar Chocolate, an artisan maker based in Japan. This bar showcases the specific characteristics of cacao harvested from the Sambirano Valley in Madagascar, specifically sourced from the well-regarded Bejofo Estate managed by Bertil Akesson.
The bar consists of only two ingredients, cacao beans and organic sugar, focusing on the quality of the Trinitario variety. The production process utilizes a melanger to refine the texture, while a light roast profile is employed to preserve the delicate, inherent notes of the origin.
This focus on minimalist processing and high-quality sourcing has earned the bar recognition on the international stage. It has received multiple accolades, including Silver awards at the International Chocolate Awards in both 2019 and 2022.
