Tien Giang 80% is a Vietnamese dark chocolate bar by Marou featuring Trinitario cacao with distinct notes of spice, fruit, and honey.
Produced by Marou Chocolate, the Tien Giang 80% bar highlights the specific cacao output of the Tien Giang region in Vietnam. As a bean-to-bar maker, the organization focuses on processing cacao within its country of origin, ensuring the characteristics of the local harvest are preserved throughout the transformation from bean to finished bar.
The flavor profile of this bar balances the high cacao concentration with notes of spice, fruit, and honey. The texture and final profile are shaped by a specific post-harvest protocol, consisting of a 6 day fermentation period in wooden boxes followed by 7 to 10 days of sun-drying on bamboo mats. The ingredient list is minimal, containing only cacao, cacao butter, and cane sugar.
Marou Chocolate maintains a reputation for production standards that have been recognized by industry organizations. This particular bar received Silver honors at both the Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate Awards in 2013, highlighting the consistent performance of their Vietnamese-origin cacao in international evaluations.
