The crunch of the nibs brings a rustic and robust touch and combines pleasantly with the red fruit notes of the chocolate.
The hint of fleur de sel extends this experience, highlighting the subtle acidity of the cocoa beans.

ETHNIC PORTRAIT
Portrait of a Tanala woman. The Tanalas (Those who live in the forest) originate from the southeast of the island.
They are renowned for never having pledged allegiance to the Kings/Queens during the centuries when Madagascar was a kingdom.
MENAKAO
Since 2013, Menakao has been highlighting Malagasy know-how and diversity in Tree-to-Bar chocolate, using the best beans from Madagascar and selecting the finest local ingredients. An ethically committed brand which, by transforming fine cocoa into chocolate in its country of origin, allows the local added value to be multiplied by four. Less than 5% of the cocoa produced in Madagascar is processed on the island, the Menakao plates are part of this. At the heart of Menakao chocolates, there are women and men!
It is therefore quite natural that they wanted to illustrate their tablets by highlighting the faces of the different ethnic groups which represent the Malagasy people. The Tanala, the Betsimisaraka, the Mahafaly, the Antanosy, the Bara and the Merina, all represented in their traditional headdresses and clothing.
