Les merThe cocoa beans for this chocolate come from the APACH cooperative (Asociación de Productores Agroforestales de la Cuenca Rio Choloma), which has 110 member farmers. They live and work in the area around the city/municipality of Choloma, which comprises 41 villages. The cocoa is grown in the forests – agroforestry – at the foot of the Sierra del Mérendon, on the border of Honduras and Guatemala.
Les merMenakao, deeply rooted in local production, operates from its chocolate factory in Ambohidratrimo, near Antananarivo, Madagascar. This factory is distinctive for transforming Grand Cru beans, exclusively sourced from Madagascar, into 100% Malagasy chocolate bars. Fine Malagasy Cocoa: Madagascar chocolate is renowned for its unique floral notes, a touch of acidity, and a slightly astringent finish, making it an exceptional cocoa recognized globally. Since 2016, it has been labeled as "Fine Cocoa" by the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO), ranking it among the world's best. Ethically Committed Brand: Menakao's approach of processing cocoa beans locally into chocolate helps shorten the intermediary chain, contributing to Madagascar's economic development. This initiative ensures that the country not only produces cocoa beans but also benefits from the value-added processing industry, leading to more equitable income distribution. Quality and Traceability: Working closely with five plantations, Menakao ensures the quality and traceability of each cocoa batch received and processed. Regular visits to their partners allow them to monitor the quality of the beans throughout every stage, from harvesting to sorting, and even the cleanliness of the trucks transporting them. This commitment to quality extends to the choice of ingredients used in their chocolate recipes, ensuring a premium product in every bar. Bars with the Faces of Madagascar: At the heart of Menakao chocolates, there are women and men! We therefore wanted to illustrate our shelves by putting forward the faces of the different ethnic groups that represent the Malagasy people, who are very little known. The Tanala, the Betsimisaraka, the Mahafaly, the Antanosy, the Bara or the Merina, all represented in their headdresses and traditional clothes. A tribute and a desire to discover a country with multiple cultures that make the richness of Madagascar. Also a wink from the founder of Menakao, who wanted to recall four generations later the first commercial activities of the family: arriving at the beginning of the 19th century, it began in the sale of postcards. These magnificent portraits visible on our cases, painted by the late artist A. RAMIANDRASOA, illustrated postcards of the period.
Les merThe cocoa beans for this dark chocolate bar originate from the Mekong-Delta in the south of Vietnam. The bar is special in more than one way. Its taste is special: spicy, with a sharpness to it reminiscent of Asian food. But additionally, the beans are grown by several farmers and brought to a processing station for fermentation and drying. The processing plant is inside a school for children with special needs. The company Vietcacao processes the cocoa beans and at the same time guides the children towards meaningful work. Very special, indeed! The relationship between Morin and Vietcacao is strong, and developed through Erithaj, a brand based on Vietnamese cocoa which is produced in the Morin factory. The Erithaj brand owners were involved in the founding of Vietcacao. Clearchox sold Erithaj for a while, but notwithstanding the excellent quality it was hardly bought.
Les merPralus, founded by François Pralus, is a brand born from a dream to own a cocoa plantation. After two years of searching, François found his ideal spot in 2003 on Nosy-Be, an island off the northwest coast of Madagascar, known as the Island of Perfumes. Surrounded by the scents of ylang-ylang, vetivers, peppers, and vanilla, he began his tree-to-bar journey. Set amidst the rolling hills of Nosy-Be, beyond the rice fields and between fragrant vetiver trees, frangipani, and raphias, lies the fertile land where François Pralus' cocoa trees thrive. The plantation, cultivated from scratch on a hillside, started with a nursery nurturing over 25,000 cocoa plants. Here, a variety of criollo beans, typical to the Malagasy land and known for the prized white bean, were chosen for their finesse. These seedlings, once matured, were planted in a preserved primary forest, under the canopy of large trees, allowing them to flourish for at least five years before bearing their first cocoa pods. Pralus' journey from a passionate dream to crafting exquisite tree-to-bar chocolate encapsulates a deep commitment to quality and the art of chocolate making.

Les merThe first time Morin bought Peruvian cocoa beans, in 2002, it was only a few bags. They discovered the remarkable quality and developed a keen interest in cocoa from other Peruvian regions. In 2004 everything came together, as Morin started working with a French-Peruvian couple who conduct direct trade with the producers in Peru, creating the all-important short chains and transparency. The beans used for this 70% organic chocolate bar originate from one single plantation in the Chanchamayo region of central Peru. They are a mixture of Criollo and Trinitario beans. The owner of the farm grows several types of trees, including papaya and coffee, in a plantation resembling a natural forest. For Morin, this farm stands out as a positive example: the farmer is very knowledgeable, is organically certified, and has similar yields from his mixed forest system, compared to other farmers who grow only cocoa.
