This 72% dark chocolate bar lets those characteristics shine through — a departure from the earthiness of African cacao you might expect, and closer to the brightness of Central American varietals. If you've never tried Madagascar chocolate, this is the bar that opens the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout this product\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssenzo represents Akesson's commitment to transparency in single-origin chocolate: each batch is traceable to specific cacao farms and harvest seasons.
