Zotter – Madagascar 100%

About the bar

This 100% cacao bar is intense, punchy and bright. When you unwrap the bar, a captivating aroma hits you – blend of berries, nuts, and warm baked goods, intertwined with bold coffee and earthy notes.

The melt is smooth, unleashing a wave of juicy fruits and high acidity on the palate – we tasted notes of coffee and cream, roasted nuts, and bursts of tart redcurrants and raspberries. There is also a hint of saltiness on the finish, alongside a delicate citrus flavour. The powerful flavour is intensified with Zotter’s high roast profile.

About the maker

Zotter is an Austrian bean to bar chocolate maker with a penchant for the wacky. Josef Zotter is a man never to shy away from experimental flavours – think cheese, bacon, craft beer, pigs’ blood – no flavour combination fails to exist – hemp mocha, anyone? Zotter is a flavour alchemist to say the least. Yet, at the heart of everything Zotter does is crafting, ethical chocolate from bean to bar.

The beans

This 100% cacao bar is crafted from Madagascan cocoa beans from the Sambirano Valley. Madagascar holds a special place in the world of cocoa. All three prized varieties – Trinitario, Criollo, and Forastero – flourish here, contributing to Madagascar’s reputation for producing 100% fine cocoa. Adding to the delightful complexity, each cocoa tree in Madagascar is believed to possess its unique essence, influencing the final flavor profile of the chocolate.

Zotter sources its cacao direct from co-operatives and individual farmers. For our Library, we focus on Zotter’s ‘Labooko’ range of single origin chocolates. Each bar comes in two, which makes them ideal for tasting, sharing, and exploring the differences between bean varieties, percentages and flavours.
