It is an incredibly complex and exotic chocolate, managing to be both ethereal and visceral at the same time, like a mysterious, alluring woman whispering to you in a foreign tongue. Using 100% Vietnamese ingredients, including shade-grown cocoa from 6 different provinces, Marou captures aromas and flavors never-before experienced by our Western palates. While it may take a lifetime of tasting to really get to know the soul of Marou's chocolate, one thing is perfectly clear: these two French expats living in Vietnam, producing chocolate reminiscent of the French style but distinctively Vietnamese, make globalization look sexy.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButtery and fresh tasting, this cacao is grown in central Vietnam amidst pepper vines and coffee plantations, lending bright earthiness to this dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDak Lak is also known as the ‘pepper province’.
