Short story: The beans we use are from the Somia Plantation in the Sambirano district, where the mineral-rich red soil and rain flowing down from the Tsaratanana mountain ranges provide the ideal cocoa conditions. Many growers insist that the fruit trees that once grew, and the prominence of vanilla, pepper and bay rose nearby, have superbly enhanced the flavour of the native cacao. |
