The unique terroir of Madagascar comes alive in Zestina Experience Madagascar, where the island's renowned cocoa beans reveal their most vibrant characteristics. This chocolate celebrates the brightness and natural acidity inherent in Madagascar cocoa, delivering an immediate burst of red fruit intensity paired with refreshing citrus undertones. The initial flavours are lively and expressive, providing an invigorating tasting experience that captures the essence of this exceptional origin. The flavour journey evolves beautifully as roasted cocoa emerges, providing grounding and structure whilst the red fruit character remains prominent. A pleasant tartness adds complexity and keeps the palate engaged, striking a dynamic balance between brightness and depth. The clean, well-rounded finish sees gentle sweetness harmonise with subtle roasted cocoa notes, leaving a satisfying and memorable impression. Zestina Madagascar 67% is a chocolate that brings clarity and lift to the creations of chocolatiers and pastry chefs. Its fruit-forward profile and zesty character make it particularly well-suited to applications where brightness is desired, such as fruit-based ganaches and desserts that benefit from chocolate's more expressive qualities. This is cocoa craftsmanship that honours Madagascar's reputation while delivering the consistent quality that professionals demand.
