A 63% dark chocolate bar from Madagascar, featuring cocoa beans from the Sambirano Valley infused with bird's tongue pepper.
Menakao is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker operating from Madagascar. As a local producer, the company processes its cocoa directly in its country of origin, ensuring that the transformation from bean to finished bar happens within the region where the cacao is harvested.
The Bird Chili 63% bar utilizes cocoa beans sourced from the Sambirano Valley. The manufacturing process relies on a roll refining method to achieve the desired texture. Beyond the base of cocoa beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter, the recipe includes bird's tongue pepper to provide a specific heat profile. The inclusion of sunflower lecithin helps maintain consistency in the bar.
This product carries certifications for being Vegan, Gluten Free, and Direct Trade. Consumers should note the allergen statement, as the facility processes ingredients that may result in traces of nuts and milk proteins.
