CHOCOLATE MADAGASCAR 70%

Chocolat Madagascar

A chocolate factory with history. 'Chocolate Madagascar' was founded by the Roberts family in 1941. The Ramanandraibe family now takes care of production and cocoa cultivation on the two plantations in the northwest and on the east coast of Madagascar. The Criollo and Trinitario beans grown there are made into delicious chocolates directly on site. In this way, the company ensures that the value chain remains in the country of origin.

Madagascar

Cocoa production: Madagascar exports around 12 tons a year Cocoa cultivation: Around 35,000 farmers make a living from cocoa cultivation Flavors: Predominantly fruity, native, slightly acidic Even if less than 0.5% of the cocoa exported worldwide comes from Madagascar, it has a lot to offer: According to ICCO (International Cocoa Organization), Madagascar exports 100% fine flavor cocoa! So it's no coincidence that Madagascar, as the country of origin, has a steadily growing chocolate fan club. And this despite the fact that fine flavor cocoa was only introduced to Madagascar after French colonization in the 1800s. Originally grown on the east coast, cocoa farmers soon recognized the great potential of the northwestern Sambirano Valley. The combination of the natural minerals, the good soil quality, the microclimate, as well as the flora, fauna and topography form a unique "terroir" in which the fine, fruity flavors of the fine flavor cocoa can develop wonderfully.
