Menakao

Dark Chocolate 72%

A dark chocolate sweetened with measure, just enough to release the deep cocoa flavour, and clear notes of red fruits. An intense, elegant and bright chocolate with a long, rich and subtle acidic finish.

The image corresponds to the portrait of a Mahafaly woman (“Those who make taboos” or “Those who make people happy”). Located in the southwest of Madagascar, the Mahafaly people are particularly famous for the tombs they built to honor their chiefs and kings. Mahafaly art is also manifested through some very characteristic hairstyles, as illustrated here.

Menakao keeps it local with added ingredients, from vanilla to sea salt and cane sugar, sourced in Madagascar from national suppliers.

By making the chocolate in Madagascar in addition to growing the cacao on the island, Menakao generate about 4-5 times the benefit of Fair Trade for the local Madagascan economy.
