Maker
SOMA ChocolatemakerSOMA was founded by David Castellan and Cynthia Leung in Toronto in 2003, making them one of the earliest micro-batch bean-to-bar makers in North America. What sets SOMA apart is their dual expertise: they make chocolate from the bean and also create truffles, ganache, and other confections with their own chocolate. Their bars have earned multiple awards over the years. A strong choice for gifting, especially for recipients who appreciate both bars and chocolatier-made treats.
Cacao Region
Sambirano Valley, MadagascarPerhaps the most famous growing region in the world, northern Madagascar's Sambirano Valley is known for its incredibly fruity cacao and aromatic herbs & spices. Over the past few decades three main plantations have popped up in the area to supply cacao to chocolate makers around the world, as well as some of the world's most valuable botanicals, namely vanilla, ylang-ylang, and essential oil extracts.
Cacao Estate
Akesson EstatePerhaps one of the most famous origins in the world, Akesson’s Estate consists of several individual farms in northwestern Madagascar’s Sambirano Valley. The most prolific of these is certainly Bejofo Estate, which alone produces around 300 tons of cocoa each year. Over the last decade, Malagasy cacao (cacao grown on Madagascar) has earned a reputation for fruity, almost juicy cacao beans, which transform into some of the most unique chocolate in the world. All of the cacao grown on Akesson Estate is organic-certified.
