This is chocolate at its best!
When I first tasted chocolate from Madagascar I was blown away by the fullness of the flavour without the overwhelming bitterness so common with higher cocoa chocolate - it's my favourite dark chocolate and my go-to bar of choice for a little post-lunch nibble. It eats incredibly smoothly and has a flavour that leaves chocolate lovers wanting more.

This single origin chocolate bar starts its life in one of the world's finest cocoa producing regions, Madagascar. All of the beans come from this one part of the world giving a distinctive and unique eating experience. This chocolate shares the flavour characteristics reminiscent of Madagascar with a full bodied fruity flavour with hints of coffee and liquorice.
Just like with wine the flavour of the chocolate can change with each harvest. The unique characteristics of the chocolate come from the soil that the trees were grown in and the environment in which they were grown. Even the weather has an impact on the flavour. This is chocolate at its best. At around 70% cocoa (dependant on batch) the flavour of the beans is developed in the roast to give a full bodied and fruity chocolate and eats like a much higher cocoa chocolate.
To make this bar we first expertly temper a large vat of our sustainably sourced single origin dark Madagascan chocolate. This involves melting chocolate couverture to exactly the correct temperature that it pre-crystallises, thus ensuring that ‘melt-in-the-mouth’ smooth texture when eaten. Once tempered the chocolate is poured into chocolate bar moulds. The moulds are cooled in a temperature-controlled unit. The final stage is for the bars are popped out and packaged with care.
We believe in simple, natural flavours derived from real ingredients, with no nasties added. This, along with the care and attention we give to each individual product- from sustainably sourcing ingredients and packaging, to production and boxing up to be shipped- really sets our chocolate apart from the highstreet ‘norm’.
We are proud that this is a plastic-free product. The clear, Natureflex bags in which both the 40 g and 100 g bars are protected can be responsibly disposed of in household waste, where, over time, it will degrade without harm to the environment. The card boxes in which the 100 g bars are presented can be recycled. You can read more about our packaging here.
