About

Ben Tre 78%

Marou Chocolate is an artisan maker based in Vietnam. This specific bar, the Ben Tre 78%, highlights the distinctive characteristics of Trinitario cacao grown in the lush Ben Tre region of the Mekong Delta. The maker operates as a bean-to-bar producer, managing the entire production cycle within the country of origin.

The flavor profile is shaped by a precise post-harvest process, where beans undergo fermentation in wooden boxes for a duration of 120 hours. The formulation is straightforward, containing 72% cacao nibs, 22% cane sugar, and 6% added cacao butter to achieve its final 78% cacao content. This attention to process earned the bar a Bronze award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2013.

The production standards at Marou are recognized through their B Corp certification. By maintaining their operations in Vietnam, the producer sustains a direct link to the farmers and the agricultural output of the Ben Tre province, focusing on the quality of the regional Trinitario harvests.
