Like the crackling sound of a fire, Oqo’s whole cocoa bean pieces take you back to cocoa’s earliest origins. It has a raw, almost mineral texture, with crunchy pieces of cocoa bean which erupt like a shower of glittering sparks, and powerful acidic and fruity notes that give way to warm undertones of roasted cocoa. The *cocoa beans are from the Ambanja District (Madagascar).

Oabika is a cocoa fruit juice concentrate 72° Brix, made from the still-undervalued white pulp that protects beans in the cocoa pod, also known as mucilage. Its nuanced aromatic profile, oscillating between fruity and tangy notes, instantly takes us to the heart of the plantations to discover the rare and exceptional taste of the fruit of the cocoa tree.
