The Sambirano Madagascar 70% is a masterclass in highlighting the natural intensity of Trinitario cacao. By utilizing only organic cacao beans and organic cane sugar, the maker allows the complex personality of the bean to take center stage. The cacao undergoes a careful 6-day fermentation in wooden boxes, which develops the specific flavor profile found in this bar. Once in the factory, the beans are processed in a melanger to achieve a refined texture, resulting in a vibrant tasting experience defined by notes of crisp citrus acidity, pineapple, grape, red fruits, and a lingering touch of honey.

Sustainability and transparency are core to the ethos of this producer. By choosing to work with beans sourced directly from the renowned Sambirano region of Madagascar, they emphasize the importance of origin and post-harvest technique. Their minimalist recipe relies on the quality of the raw material rather than additives, ensuring that every bar remains a pure expression of the environment in which the cacao was grown.
