About the bar
In this typically smooth and creamy Bonnat, the fruity notes you would expect from a Madagascan bar, are mixed with fudge. Rather than a burst of fresh berries, we tasted caramelised, almost burnt raisins.
About the maker
The Bonnat family have been making chocolate in Voiron, France for over 130 years. It was current head Stephane Bonnat’s parents, Raymond and Nicole Bonnat who pioneered Bonnat’s first single origin bars in the 1980’s. Stephane has continued his parent’s tradition and the company now works with 35 different plantations worldwide to produce their bars.
About the beans
The beans in this bar are sourced from Bertil Akesson’s estate in Madagascar. Bertil’s beans are famous throughout the craft chocolate world, having produced countless award-winning bars and winning many awards themselves. They typically lend their bars a fruity flavour profile, and it’s an endless source of enjoyment for us to see all the new ways makers find to bring out their very best.

As others have said – it’s high quality but it doesn’t bring out the flavour of the beans, and is more like a cooking chocolate. I’d much rather have the Bare Bones or Fruition bars that use the same beans – they both have fantastic flavour and I was a little disappointed with this Bonnat bar, knowing how the beans can taste. This bar has a lot of richness but not much to get excited about.
Nicky H. –
I agree with the reviewer who suggested it tastes more like a fine cooking chocolate than something to savour. It is very good quality chocolate but I just can’t get excited about it. I probably will cook with it.
Matthew –
A nice smooth blend of bitter, sweet and acidic flavours, with some notes of spice and I also get a slight sense of mint. Nothing spectacular or outstanding but very nice.
Angeline B. –
This had quite a strong bitter taste, so I only need a small amount at a time. Not one of my favourites but it’s acceptable.
William T. –
Very classic. Slow, luxurious melt, revealing a good array of subtle flavours (dried fruits, ganache, fudge). It’s clearly very high quality chocolate and I’m impressed by its balance and subtlety, but it comes across more like a fine cooking chocolate than something I’d want to sit and linger over.
