Belvie Dong Nai 70%
This husband and wife team blends Belgian chocolate-making techniques with locally sourced Vietnamese Trinitario beans. It's all about terroir with Belvie; they ferment and dry the beans on the small farms where they're grown - none of which are far from their production facility in Ho Chi Minh - and they even use Vietnamese cocoa butter! Another thing I love about Belvie is their origins; Jannie and Marc started their chocolate-making journey at home, using cocoa trees growing outside their front door and experimenting in their kitchen. Adding to their charm, their labels feature traditional Vietnamese silk paintings showcasing the unique geography of each bar's region, further emphasizing their commitment to local heritage.
Shop More BelvieDong Nai, a province in Vietnam's Southeast region, is a key player in the country's manufacturing industry. However, nearly half of its land is dedicated to agriculture. The region boasts abundant freshwater resources, including lakes, dams, and the Dong Nai River, Vietnam's largest internal waterway. The region experiences a monsoon tropical climate with distinct rainy (March/April to November) and dry seasons (December to March/April). The average temperature is lower than typical tropical regions, creating favorable conditions for agriculture. The region's geography provides ample sunshine, regular rainfall, fertile soils, and high humidity, ideal for cultivating a variety of crops – coffee, cashew, and cocoa among them.
