MAROU TIEN GIANG MEKONG KUMQUAT 68%, 80G

From comfort to exhilaration, lust, fear, and back to comfort, Marou evokes unexpected thoughts and emotions. It is an incredibly complex and exotic chocolate, managing to be both ethereal and visceral at the same time, like a mysterious, alluring woman whispering to you in a foreign tongue. Using 100% Vietnamese ingredients, including shade-grown cacao from 5 different provinces, Marou captures aromas and flavors never-before experienced by our Western palates. While it may take a lifetime of tasting to really get to know the soul of Marou‘s chocolate, one thing is perfectly clear: these two French expats living in Vietnam, producing chocolate reminiscent of the French style but distinctively Vietnamese, make globalization look sexy.

Fruit that grows together, goes together! This bar highlights the warm, spicy notes of Tien Giang cacao with vibrant, exotic Kumquats grown in nearby orchards.
