Among the lush forests and volcanic soil of Vietnam’s Dong Nai region are cacao farms, where Marou gets the beans for their single-origin Dong Nai 72% Dark Chocolate Bar. Ethically sourced and made entirely in Vietnam, this bar has a classic dark chocolate intensity and a hint of spice, with a soft finish that evokes vanilla marshmallow. It’s smooth and creamy, perfect for snacking when craving something decadent but not overly sweet. It’s even better when paired with Sbrinz for a salty touch.
“Chocolate is a delicious way to explore the world, and this was my first experience with a Vietnamese bar! I’m sold. I love it paired with spicy candied pecans—it's like a grown-up candy bar.”
Cocoa, Cocoa Butter, Cane Sugar
- Marou hand-picks and tests every bag of cacao that is used in their chocolate to ensure the beans meet their high standards.
- The percentage on the bar refers to the percentage of cocoa compared to other ingredients like sugar and milk. The higher the percentage, the more cocoa there is in the bar (and the more intensely flavored it is).
- This 72% bar has the intensity of dark chocolate, while still retaining a distinct creaminess.
- Marou is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker that sources beans and crafts its bars entirely in Vietnam.
- Its founders, Vincent Marou and Samuel Maruta, met in Vietnam in 2010. They decided to start making chocolate together after visiting a cacao plantation in the Ba Ria province.
- They maintain a close relationship with the small farms they buy from, setting them apart from traditional chocolate-makers who use a middleman to source their beans.
- Marou invests in the farmers themselves, offering financial and technical support to 520 small-plot farmers and 30 fermenters across Vietnam.
