Francois Pralus Bresil Forastero


Proud of the beans. The front of the label prominently displays it's origins - 13 10'S 39 10'W. Wouldn't it be interesting if all bars referenced the latitude and longitude of it's origins? I could eat my way around the world!!!! The chocolatier is French, but they now own their very own cacao plantion on the island of Nosy Be (The island of perfumes, Madagascar). So, from beginning to end they control the process of this bar. The pictures of this plantation is facinating. Everyother photo shows the beaming face of Francois living his dream.

Self described as: 'Powerful nose, well balanced, coffee, cacao, woody aroma'. Other tasters agreed with the coffee taste, although for me, coffee taste is always in my mouth so I can't possibly detect it. It just tastes rich and perfect. Everyone oohed and awed over this bar and it being from Madagascar did not influence this. 75% seemed to be just enough--
