Madagascar Chocolate
There are two major chocolate manufacturers in Madagascar, Chocolaterie Robert and Cinagra. Both companies produce premium quality chocolate made with cocoa grown exclusively in Madagascar.
Cinagra and Chocolaterie Robert are so-called bean-to-bar chocolate makers of single origin, which both grow their cocoa and produce their chocolate in Madagascar.
Additionally, Chocolaterie Colbert is a brand of handmade pralines and chocolate bars sold only at Hotel Colbert's patisserie in Antananarivo, using ingredients supplied by Chocolaterie Robert and Cinagra. While Colbert's chocolate costs more than other Malagasy chocolate, their chocolate creations made by a small team of dedicated chocolatiers are always sold fresh at the counter and make ideal gifts.
