This bar is made exclusively of Madagascar Criollo beans. Criollo beans comprise only about 5% of the world’s cocoa harvest. Of all the cocoa varieties, they are thought to have the finest flavor and aroma but are also the hardest to grow — Criollo plantations generally have smaller yields than other varieties and the cocoa plants are also more prone to disease. As a result, Criollo beans are highly prized and priced — making this bar from Bonnat a truly special treat.

    All Bonnat bars are certified Kosher-Parve.

    Maker

    Bonnat

    Chocolat Bonnat is a French chocolate maker that started in 1884 and has been handed down the family for generations. Made in a traditional style, the single origin chocolate bars here are super rich from added cocoa butter, giving them all an amazing melt mouthfeel. Since the 1980's Bonnat has continued to pioneer the creation of single origin bars. They work with 35 different plantations around the globe to produce bars that showcase each cacao’s unique flavor. Bonnat works closely with each farmer, so he can see first hand each vital step that goes into his fine quality chocolate bars.

    Cacao Strain

    Criollo

    Criollo is the only one of those original three which has proven to be its own evolutionarily unique type. The clusters were finally identified in 2008 using hundreds of samples collected throughout the Americas over the previous century. With the least genetic diversity of the ten, criollo cacaos are the most predictable in terms of both appearance and flavor, as well as proper post-harvest protocol; they’re known to have a very chocolaty base flavor and little to no bitterness. Some criollos also show a light nuttiness or florality, but overall they’re prized for their mild flavor, and under-cultivated due to low yield. Criollo is the only genetic cluster found growing wild in the primary forests of Central America.

    Delicious and smooth

    I love chocolate from Madagascar in the first place, and Bonnat chocolate with its added cocoa butter makes this a winning combination. Scrumptious!
