See how the addition of (coconut) milk changes a chocolate bar! These two bars are made by the same maker using the same beans – the only difference is the cocoa content and addition of coconut milk. Notice the differences in texture and mouthfeel, and see how the sweetness of the milk changes the beans’ flavour profile. And we bet you’ll be reaching for a second piece of the milk bar – this is the “bliss point” in action (come to a tasting to find out more).

Description

TASTING NOTES

The 78% dark bar opens with a spicy aroma that leads to notes of nutmeg, cassia & peppercorns. A little sweetness mixes with mellow coconut flavours.

To taste, we found this 55% coconut milk bar to have a deliciously rich and fudgy mouth feel. The coconut milk beautifully compliments the spicy flavour profile of the Ben Tre cocoa by adding a fruity layer with added notes of raisin.

ABOUT THE MAKER

The two Frenchmen behind Marou, Samuel Maruta and Vincent Mourou, started out in Vietnam knowing nothing about how to make chocolate. Yet after only a couple of years, the Marou name was already synonymous in the craft chocolate world with supreme-quality, ethically-produced chocolate. They pay a lot of attention to ‘terroir’, understanding that the climate, soil, and water of each province, along with different cocoa varieties and post-harvest practices, contribute to the different flavour profiles of each origin.

THE BEANS

These generous bars have been crafted in Vietnam using cocoa beans from the southern province of Ben Tre.
