Sambirano Aromatic

We are offering cocoa beans. The island of madagascar, off the south-east coast of africa is a highly interesting origin. Most of the cocoa is grown in the ambanja or sambirano region (6000 hectares) in the north of the country from where criollo and trinitario cocoa finds its way into some remarkable chocolate. Chocolate from here tends to carry strong citrus fruit notes, and has a slightly oily -- but by no means unpleasant -- texture. The madagascan criollo bars also provide particularly good examples of the distinct criollo cocoa flavour, much more so than the better-known venezuelan criollos.
