The second largest and more recently established Malagasy chocolate maker, Cinagra, has been making chocolate at their [[Antananarivo]] based factory since 2006, also using single origin cocoa grown in the Sambirano region. In 2009 their 63% cocoa based Tsar bar won first price at the [http://www.salon-du-chocolat.com Salon de Chocolat Paris] in France and since 2008, Cinagra is producing chocolate for [[Madecasse]], a brand which is exported and sold primarily within US and Canada.
A third and tiny but nonetheless appreciated Malagasy chocolate maker is [[Chocolaterie Colbert]]. Although they do not run their own farms or buy and process cocoa directly from farmers they cannot be classified a bean-to-bar producer. However, their final recipes are their own and since they buy the raw ingredients from both Chocolaterie Robert and Cinagra, their products are of single Malagasy origin. Colbert's highly priced range of handmade pralines and chocolate bars can be found only at [[Pâtisserie Colbert]] in Antananarivo. Their chocolates, handmade by a small team of talented chocolatiers, is always sold fresh at the counter and make idea ideal presents for special occasions.
