About Sambirano Madagascar 70%
Standout Chocolate is a bean-to-bar maker based in Sweden. They produce this 50 g bar using Trinitario cacao beans sourced from a specific farm lot at Åkesson Organic, located in the Sambirano Valley of Madagascar.
The cacao undergoes a box fermentation process lasting 144 hours, followed by a drying period of 7-14 days using a mix of shade and sun. Standout Chocolate applies a light roast to the beans and uses a melanger for refining. This dark chocolate presents flavour notes of crisp citrus acidity, pineapple, grape, red fruits, berry, and honey. It has been recognised with an Academy of Chocolate Gold in 2022, an Academy of Chocolate Bronze in 2021, and an International Chocolate Awards European Silver in 2020.
The bar is made with organic cacao beans and organic cane sugar and holds an Organic certification. It contains no lecithin, vanilla, vanillin, PGPR, vegetable fats, or added cocoa butter.
