“Single-Origin Chocolate from the Sambirano Valley in Madagascar. This growing region?s trees are derived from Venezuelan stock, but due to terrior and processing, has a remarkably different flavor. It has been carefully roasted, ground, refined, and conched to perfection in small batches. Bright flavors of plums, citrus, berry, and cedar are found in the finish.
Ingredients: Cocoa beans, Sugar, cocoa butter, tahitian vanilla
Weight: 60 grams / 2.21 ounces” (source)
