description:

Creating flavorful 100% chocolate can be elusive.  We wanted to develop a pure cacao with bold character that was also approachable.  We think you will be pleased with the results.  This bar's single ingredient, Madagascar cocoa, is lightly roasted to preserve its natural acidity.  A long conche cycle of heat and aeration softens any harsh notes often associated with pure cocoa.  Please tell us what you think.

Madagascar's Sambirano Valley produces some of the most flavorful cacao in the world.  Daily harvests from a single 600 hectare plantation are fermented six days to develop a signature fruitiness.  This bar highlights the essence of Madagascar cacao.
