About Coconut Milk & Ben Tre 55%
Marou Chocolate operates as a bean-to-bar producer based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. They are recognized for their work with local cacao growers, focusing on single-origin bars that highlight specific provinces within the country. This 80-gram bar showcases their ability to integrate regional Vietnamese ingredients into their production process.
The Coconut Milk & Ben Tre 55% bar features Trinitario cacao beans harvested in the Ben Tre region. Marou describes one process for its range: the beans ferment in wooden boxes lined with banana leaves, then dry in the sun. By incorporating coconut milk powder, the maker creates a creamy, plant-based texture that balances the intensity of the 55% cacao content.
Marou maintains a B Corp certification, reflecting their operational standards. Their commitment to quality in the specialty sector was recognized with a Silver award at the 2017 Academy of Chocolate.
