Product Information
1% for the planet
The first ever 74% organic couverture chocolate whose cocoa beans are sourced from just one plantation in Madagascar: Millot, ambanja District. This exceptional Grand Cru is the fruit of 30 years of close partnership. It reveals the immense aromatic power, intensely tangy and fruity, of its terroir. There was only one name we could give it – the name of its origin.
Since 1990, we’ve been fostering an exclusive partnership with the Millot Plantation in Madagascar where we buy all the cocoa grown. We agreed together to strengthen this longstanding partnership and mutual commitment with Valrhona becoming a shareholder of the Millot Plantation in 2016. A true fulfillment of our joint ambitions, this association guarantees technical and financial stability for projects aimed at developing the sustainability of the Millot Plantation’s activity.
Millot 74% marks the fruition of Millot and Valrhona’s commitment to working together to create a fair, sustainable cocoa industry.
