Madagascar 67% Entremet

Our Madagascar 67% Signature Collection chocolate creates brightness and natural acidity in its cocoa flavour.  Its fruit-forward profile and zesty character make it particularly well-suited to applications where brightness is desired, such as fruit-based ganache's and desserts that benefit from chocolate's more expressive qualities.
