Sambirano Valley, Madagascar

Many chocolate makers consider Madagascar cocoa to be one of the best cocoa beans in the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that many fine flavor chocolate makers make their bars from this cocoa. The cocoa beans used by Krak Chocolate are slightly different from those used by other chocolate makers, as they come from the Ottange Farm. The Ottange Farm is located on the Ramena River, located in northwestern Madagascar in the Sambirano Valley. The Ottange Farm belongs to the Mava plantations and is the smallest of the eight plantations. In 2017 won de Ottange Farm de International Cocoa awards. Each year about 6 tons of cocoa beans are grown on the Ottange farm. Of this, most is used by the owner, the Ramanandraibe family, to make their own chocolate. A small portion is sold, Krak Chocolate is fortunate to be able to make their bars from this cacao
