VALRHONA Manjari 64% – Dark Chocolate Couverture - 3kg
VALRHONA Manjari 64% – Dark Chocolate Couverture - 3kg
This single origin dark chocolate is made from rare cocoa beans from Madagascar giving it a fresh, acidic, sharp bouquet with red fruit notes.
Smitten with the powerful, uniquely flavorsome beans that its sourcing teams uncovered in Madagascar, in 1990, Valrhona decided to declare its love by creating Manjari. This allowed Valrhona to demonstrate the fine quality of Madagascan cocoa, and Manjari became one of the brand’s true classics. The name Manjari comes from both “good” in Madagascan and “bouquet” in an Indian Hindustani dialect.
Manjari is the product of a long-running partnership between Valrhona and the Millot plantation in northern Madagascar. Valrhona is committed to improving the living conditions of plantation employees and their families. The construction of a village with 45 homes and a health center offers the families more living space, and a nurse is permanently on site. Respect for the environment is a priority: water is carefully preserved and the soil is nourished with natural fertilizers.
With its fleshy notes of tangy red berries, each bite of Manjari takes you on a voyage to Madagascar – also known as the “Scented Isle” – where amazing cacao trees, delicious fruit and wonderful spices all grow.

Summer Shipping:
At above 26°C, cocoa butter in chocolate products may start melting, and recrystallize as white streaks or marks on the chocolate's surface. This phenomenon is called 'fat bloom'. While it may not have the perfect appearance, bloomed chocolates are safe to eat and use in recipes.
