2 x 'Sambirano Valley' Vegan Dark Chocolate Bar by Firetree
Chocolate 70g - Vegan Chocolate Bar - Volcanic Chocolate
Brand: Firetree
On the north-west coast of Madagascar lies the
Sambirano Valley, with the sea to the west and volcanic hills to
the east. Its warm, humid microclimate and rich volcanic soil makes
it the ideal place for growing cocoa, giving the beans a
distinctive hint of raspberry and red fruit overtones. The
microclimate of the Sambirano Valley, which lies within the
volcanic hills of the north west of Madagascar, provides the humid
conditions for growing perfect cocoa. The lush soil and generous
shade of the broadleaf forest ensure a chocolate of character and
depth. The long finish and lingering taste of our chocolate is due
to the firetree, or cocoa tree, which thrives on the uniquely rich,
porous soils of the South Seas' remote volcanic Islands. Firetree's
superior beans yield a distinct depth and complexity. Tasting
Notes: Raspberry and rich red fruit tones create a zesty character.
To enjoy fully, take time to let the flavours develop on the
palate. About the Producer Founded by two passionate chocolate
makers and eaters with over 70 years of chocolate experience, we
launched firetree in 2019 but have been sourcing rare beans from
remote oceanic islands for several years now. We started firetree
to create a range of chocolate without parallel. Each island
variation we make only uses cocoa from a single estate. We create a
range of single estate chocolate bars, all with their own subtle
tastes derived from the volcanic soils of the islands the cocoa
trees grow on. As we work directly with our farmers, we are able to
influence the picking, fermenting and drying of the beans before
they are shipped directly to us in the UK. Our promise on
sustainability: Instead of dealing with our farmers through agents,
we go to them directly. By cutting out the middle man, the farmers
get more for their hard work. Two or three times the market rate in
fact. It means they can provide for their families, and commit to
high agricultural standards that makes for a great
chocolate.
