Dark & Cocoa Nibs 100%, Menakao

Dark & Cocoa Nibs

Menakao is a bean-to-bar producer located in Madagascar. By processing their chocolate entirely within the country of origin, the maker aims to capture the specific character of Malagasy cacao at the source. This bar represents an uncompromising approach to chocolate, stripping away all additives to focus on the raw profile of the fruit.

The Dark & Cocoa Nibs bar consists entirely of cocoa beans and cocoa nibs, resulting in a 100% cacao composition. Because the recipe contains no added lecithin, vanillin, or vegetable fats, the texture is determined by the manufacturer's specific rolling method for refining. The inclusion of nibs provides a distinct textural contrast to the smooth, processed base, highlighting the natural bitterness and acidity characteristic of beans grown in the Sambirano Valley.

The 75-gram bar is produced with a focus on purity, though consumers should be aware that the facility handles other ingredients. The manufacturer notes a potential presence of nuts and milk proteins due to shared equipment. By keeping the ingredient list limited to only cacao components, the bar serves as a study of how processing affects the inherent flavor of Madagascar beans.
