Cocoa Nibs & Sea Salt 63%

Menakao is a bean-to-bar maker based in Madagascar. Operating directly in the country of origin, the producer manufactures finished bars rather than exporting raw beans, which shifts the economic impact of production back to the local community in the Sambirano Valley. This 75-gram dark chocolate bar represents a specific approach to local processing.

The 63% cacao content serves as a canvas for the natural characteristics of Malagasy beans. The bar is refined using a rolling method and tempered to achieve its texture. Flavors lean toward a robust and rustic profile, marked by clear notes of red fruit and a subtle acidity. The addition of sea salt flower and cocoa nibs introduces a crisp, tactile dimension that contrasts with the snap of the bar.

Sourcing practices are governed by a Direct Trade model, which aims to provide transparency and equity for the farmers involved. The recipe is formulated to be vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free, utilizing sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier. While the ingredients are carefully selected, the maker notes the possibility of trace amounts of nuts or milk proteins due to shared equipment.
