Tien Giang province has rich alluvial soil, high and stable year-round temperatures, and ample rainfall. It's a perfect place for agriculture and, in fact, has become so renowned for its abundant fruit production that there have been efforts to create geographical indications for the region's tropical produce, akin to the European Union's system for wine, cheeses, etc. Speaking of distinction, this bar exemplifies Belvie's trademark balanced style and outstanding quality, blending earthy undertones with subtle fruit and nut (cashew, hazelnut) nuances and a big coffee-and-cream flavour that delivers roasty deliciousness without any bitterness or overpowering characteristics.

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.

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.
