Description
A rich and velvety European style drinking chocolate, handcrafted using ethically sourced cocoa beans from the Sambirano valley in Madagascar. Mixed with crushed pieces of natural peppermint candy. (Note: this is NOT a powder, but actual Madagascar chocolate bits!)
“The Cacao from Bertil Akesson’s plantation in the Sambirano Valley of Madagascar is hands down some of the best and most consistent in the world. It was the first cacao we ever purchased and made into chocolate and continues to be one of our favorites. Classic citrus notes are balanced with fruit and nut. This chocolate continues to improve and challenge our pallets batch after batch.”
-ADAM DICK OWNER/HEAD CHOCOLATE MAKER
