We’re a bit geeky about flavour…

We wanted to use something special in our baking and chose a craft chocolate from a maker called Menekao in Madagascar. We tried and tested their range and chose to use Menekao 80% - a rich and intense chocolate, it’s naturally fruity with citrus and berry notes.

The great thing about buying really good quality craft chocolate is, it doesn’t just taste amazing (like nothing you’ve tasted before), but it’s also much better for cocoa farmers, as they are paid much more for their produce when there is a traceable or even direct relationship between grower and producer.

Menekao know exactly where their cocoa comes from and the working conditions of the farmers. Their relationship with the farmers ensures that they source cocoa that is carefully grown, harvested, fermented and dried ensuring a quality product.

Menakao also craft their chocolate in Madagascar, the same country where their cocoa is grown - they are true ‘Tree to bar’ chocolate makers.
