This 63% dark chocolate bar from Menakao in Madagascar features zesty combava peel and pink pepper, highlighting local ingredients from Sambirano Valley.
Menakao is a bean-to-bar maker operating directly out of Madagascar. By processing their cocoa within the country of origin, they maintain a tight connection to the local harvest. This 63% dark chocolate bar is crafted using cacao sourced specifically from the Sambirano Valley.
The flavor profile centers on the bright, citrusy character of combava peel balanced by the mild warmth of pink berries. The makers utilize a rolling method for refining the ingredients, which include cocoa beans, cane sugar, and pure cocoa butter. The resulting texture reflects the careful processing of these components alongside sunflower lecithin.
The bar is produced in a 75 gram format and is certified vegan and gluten free. While the recipe excludes dairy and animal products, the facility notes that the chocolate may contain traces of nuts and milk proteins due to potential cross-contact.
