Amano Madagascar 70%

From the maker: “The beans from Madagascar are descended primarily from Trinitario and Criollo varieties. The unique soil and climate of Madagascar produce beans that are particularly fruity. Our award winning Madagascar bar is a fine example of this. This chocolate is what first put Amano Chocolate on the map of chocolate makers. It is an untraditional cacao with strong fruity flavors that include hints of citrus and berry. When we introduced our Madagascar we followed the inspiration of the great American Chef Alice Waters. We wanted to be as true to the ingredients as possible. Up to this time most chocolate makers made their chocolate fit expectations of what chocolate should be. With our Madagascar we changed that by embracing its uniqueness. Our Madagascar bar better than most shows the wide range of flavors possible in cocoa. Since we introduced our Madagascar chocolate bar (winning the gold medal at the prestigious London Academy of Chocolate awards) many artisinal chocolate makers have copied us. we don’t think anyone has yet been able to replicate us. Our Madagascar bar is absolutely delicious and one that you will long remember for its incredible flavor.” Tasting Notes: Raisin, Light Chocolate Flavor, Citrus, Raspberry (Note, these are natural flavors of the cocoa beans we use and the chocolate — not added flavors.)
