Marou Mékong Kumquat Tien Giang 68%

Origine du cacao : Viêt Nam
Pays producteur : Viêt Nam
Poids : 80g

Le kumquat est un petit agrume généralement comparé à une orange, bien qu'il ait juste la taille d'un gros raisin ou d'une olive. Souvent consommés entiers, ils sont à la fois sucrés et pulpeux, mais aussi aigres et acides. À mon palais, la saveur ressemble définitivement à une orange, bien que rehaussée par les arômes d’eau de rose, l’acidité de groseille/pamplemousse et l’acidité du duvet de pêche. Dans un parfait exemple de « les choses qui grandissent ensemble, vont ensemble », Marou combine le kumquat séché des vergers de Tien Giang avec le cacao de la même province. Le résultat est un accord brillant. Les notes parfumées et florales de la marmelade d'agrumes sont équilibrées par le chocolat fruité mais plus amer et terreux. C'est tout simplement un truc délicieux et charmant !

Marou Mékong Kumquat Tien Giang 68%

Marou founders, Samuel and Vincent, met on a jungle camping trip in Vietnam. They quickly bonded over a shared desire to escape the mundaneness of their day jobs and embark on a life-changing odyssey. A random Google search for "cacao plantation" led them to a farm in Ba Ria Province. On the ferry ride back to Saigon, they decided to try their hand at this chocolate making thing using just a blender, an oven, and cake tins in Sam's kitchen. Easy enough, eh? Well, what came of these experiments was one of the first "bean-to-bar" enterprises in Asia, and one of the few at the time worldwide crafting chocolate at its source. Their efforts also contributed to a growing network of rejuvenated cocoa farms throughout Vietnam, as farmers could now fetch premium prices for their beans. They continue to source directly from farmers in six different parts of the country and have really helped put Vietnam on the bean-to-bar map.

Tien Giang, a province in the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam, serves as a crucial gateway to Ho Chi Minh City and is strategically positioned between the Southern Key Economic Zone and the Mekong Delta. It also boasts a long coastline ideally suited for aquatic breeding and sea-based agriculture. The climate here is consistent with the tropical monsoon climate of the rest of the Mekong Delta, whose temperature is high and stable all year round, with the year distinctly divided into wet and dry seasons. Tien Giang is renowned for its abundant fruit production, including durian, jackfruit, pineapple, and rambutan. With 73,000 hectares of orchards—the largest in the country—the province yields approximately 1.4 million tonnes of fruit annually. There have been efforts to create geographical indications for the region's fruit, akin to the European Union's system for wine, cheeses, and other geographically distinct food products.
