This is a unique blend crafted from two different types of chocolate—and thus two different bean varieties: Trinitario and Forastero. Madagascar, often called the "Great Red Island," is a treasure trove of some of the world's most exceptional aromas and ingredients, including vanilla, tobacco, spices, and exotic fruits. The cocoa grown here boasts an intense, rounded, and sweet flavor profile with a tempered bitterness. It is distinguished by refreshing, moderately acidic notes and fruity undertones reminiscent of raspberries, juniper berries, citrus, and ripe yellow fruits like apricot and pineapple. By combining these cocoa varieties, we have created a blend that leans towards red fruit flavors, using yellow fruit notes merely as a counterpoint to ensure a taste that is silky-smooth yet fresh. The cocoa is grown in the Sambirano Valley. Located on Madagascar's northwest coast and named after the river that runs through it, the Sambirano region is an area where cocoa is cultivated using traditional methods. The region's soil and climate provide ideal conditions for cocoa farming.
