Marou Ginger & Lime Chocolate

Marou Chocolate is proudly brought to you by Cocoa Traders.

In 2011 two Frenchmen, Samuel Maruta and Vincent Mourou (hence ‘Marou’) who call Vietnam home vowed to create the purest chocolate from 100% locally sourced ingredients.

They combined their experience as French chocolate makers with the great cocoa origin of Southern Vietnam and became among the first 'bean to bar' producers in Asia. They are also one of the few in the world who make chocolate at its origin.

The beans themselves give each bar its unique and distinctive chocolate flavour. Family owned cocoa farms are the source of the cocoa, and Marou work closely with them to select the finest beans while paying above market rates.

Marou roasts this cacao slow and low so you can taste their hard work and the terroir of each provincial region. Ba Ria 69% Ginger and Lime Chocolate sets the stage for the flavours of the Ba Ria province to shine.
