Menakao – Tablets reflecting Madagascar
At the heart of Menakao chocolates, there are women and men!
It is therefore quite natural that we wanted to illustrate our tablets by highlighting the faces of the different ethnic groups that represent the Malagasy people. The Tanala, the Betsimisaraka, the Mahafaly, the Antanosy, the Bara or the Merina, all represented in their traditional headdresses and clothes.
A tribute and a desire to make discover a country with multiple cultures which make the richness of Madagascar; also a wink from Shahin Cassam Chenaï, founder of Menakao, who wanted to recall four generations later the first commercial activities of the family: arriving at the beginning of the 19th century, it began in the sale of postcards.
A fine cocoa
Due to a cocoa classified among the best in the world and labeled "Fine Cocoa" by the International Cocoa Organization since January 2016, Malagasy chocolate is appreciated for its floral notes, its hint of acidity and its slight astringency on the finish.
MENA mean red in Malagasy
Red like the color of the earth, rich in minerals and sediments deposited by the Sambirano river, red like the color of the pods that come from the best producers in the Sambirano valley, red like the color of our chocolate, finally Mena like the island Red: Madagascar.
KAO for cocoa
Our beans come from the best cooperatives of planters in the Sambirano valley (Ambanja region). We develop our recipes by favoring local products (100% Madagascar range, Truly Madagascar), and this from superior or premium beans.
