Chocolate makers using Madagascar cocoa
While Chocolaterie Robert, Chocolaterie Cinagra and Chocolaterie Colbert produce their chocolates entirely in Madagascar, various producers in other countries use pre-processed exported Madagascan cocoa in their products. In cases where whole cacao beans are exported from Madagascar and processed further elsewhere, a producer may be considered a bean-to-bar chocolate maker of single origin Madagascan cocoa. Some brands are produced entirely in Madagascar for export only. All brands, whether they qualify as bean-to-bar or not, made in Madagascar or elsewhere, are listed below:
