Maker
Marou ChocolateMarou Chocolat was started by two Frenchmen Samuel Maruta and Vincent Mourou in Saigon. After a camping trip in Vietnam, that left them venturing onto a cacao farm, they were sold on their next adventure, chocolate. They only had minimal everyday kitchen appliances at the time and started testing how to make chocolate in Sam’s kitchen. They work closely with farmers and slow roast the beans in small batches to get the natural flavors from its terroir and let it do all the work. They are the first bean to bar Vietnamese chocolate makers. Their bars captivate flavors from each region they receive their cacao beans from.
Cacao Region
Dong Nai, VietnamDong Nai is a province in southeastern Vietnam, located just northeast of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). The region is one of Vietnam's main manufacturing centers, home to a range of factories, such as a Toshiba motor plant, a PepsiCo beverage manufacturer, and a Nestlé coffee factory. Despite its success in manufacturing, Dong Nai also has a substantial agricultural sector, mainly consisting of livestock, corn, sugarcane aquaculture seafood, and much much lower in the rankings, cacao. Just prior to Vietnamese colonization, the area was dominated by the Khmer empire, until 1627.
MMaxene G.So smooth. Slightly spicy/fruit but with cocoa notes. It's the first Vietnamese chocolate I've tasted. Not a strong aftertaste, but such a delicious bar!
RRachel G.Investigate and sniff closely--you'll catch traces of ginger, allspice and pink peppercorn, so subtle as if it's a dream.
Once you taste though, that dream becomes reality in vivid relief. A symphony with a first movement containing sesame, espresso and ginger dances across the palate. The second movement consists of elderberry, allspice and pink peppercorn with teasing lightness, finished with a smooth heavy cream- Choosing a selection results in a full page refresh.
