Madagascar Sambirano No. 1 Cacao Cocoa Beans

Unroasted, whole cocoa beans

Description

Region and Country Sambirano Valley, northwest Madagascar Story Cacao was introduced to the island of Madagascar in the 19th century by French colonists. Initially restricted to colonial plantations, cocoa production experienced a boost when small holder farmers started growing it on their plots. Nowadays it has become the main crop in the region and provides a regular income for a large majority of its farmers. This cacao is collected from smallholder producers who grow, ferment and dry their own cacao. Harvest October – November and May – June Genetics Trinitario genetics with small percentages of Criollo and Forastero Post Harvesting Process The beans from each farm are fermented separately. Fermentation takes place in wooden boxes for a period of 5 to 7 days. Drying is done on wooden tables for around one week.
