MADECASSE CHOCOLATE


I wrote about the extraordinary chocolate company from Madagascar, Madecasse earlier on this year. This time I am pleased to announce that their amazing range of products is now available through our website www.bundudesigns.com. Voted one of the 50 Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company Magazine they are building a sustainable chocolate industry in Africa, not simply exporting cocoa. Tim McCollum and Brett Beach--introduced to Madagascar and each other while in the Peace Corps--founded Madécasse in 2008 to keep more economic benefit within the island nation. The company partners with 45 cocoa farmers in the Ezaka cooperative and a factory in Antananarivo to move from bean to bar in one month.They have also just added a new chocolate to the range, Pink Pepeer and Citrus, which has quickly become my favourite new taste sensation. Packaging is really beautiful and unique, each bar is hand tied in Madagascar with raffia and then wrapped in gold foil. Available in Milk Chocolate, Dark (70%), Sea Salt & Nibs and Pink Pepper. Very awesome indeed.
