Hint of Berries
Manjari reveals fresh, tangy notes of red berries with a delicate roasted nutty aftertaste. Recently recognized by the New York Times as a “favorite chocolate bar”, it stands as a benchmark for exceptional flavor and craftsmanship.
In the 1980s, Valrhona, seeking to develop a new cocoa flavor, explored the Indian Ocean. Valrhona created Manjari in 1990, its first Single Origin, which quickly became one of Valrhona's classics. Thanks to close collaboration with farmers on the fermentation process, Manjari exceptionally reveals the vibrant, fruity facets that are characteristic of Madagascan cocoa beans.
