Madagascar, the island nation in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of East Africa, is famously home to lemurs and more than 80% of the world’s vanilla. Perhaps less famously, it’s also home to some of the world’s best chocolate, including the organic, heirloom, cacao beans used to craft Trader Joe’s Organic 92% Dark Chocolate Bar. Our producer is a true bean-to-bar purveyor who starts with single-origin, heirloom cocoa beans that are organically grown by farmer-run cooperatives in the remote tropical forests of Madagascar. These special beans become bars in a modern, completely dairy-free factory, which is also in the country. Chocolate lovers on our Tasting Panel delighted in this super-dark bar. At 92% cacao, it is definitely bold, however, it’s not overly bitter. Instead, it has a pure and clean flavor that’ll satisfy anyone who’s looking for a serious chocolate bar to enjoy.
