Our Products

There are five bars in the Marou collection – all conveying their own individual qualities to titillate your taste buds. The full-bodied and lengthy flavour will remain in your mouth well after tasting – the smallest piece of Marou will have a lasting impression!

Each bar evolves from the richness of the soil, rainfall and overall climate of the region and then convey its own unique characteristics through the chocolate. The bars from each region are made to a different percentage of cocoa – ranging from 65% for the catering bar for chefs through to the highest of 78%. The richness of the cocoa is enough – only sugar is added to delicately balance the overall taste.

The small farmers who grow these distinctive quality beans cultivate the cacoa trees in the shade of taller fruit trees such as coconut or cashew. They then dry and ferment the beans themselves on their farms. These beans are then packed in burlap sacks and are processed by the team at Marou. Heavy rollers compress the liquid chocolate until the next stage in the process when it is tempered and put into moulds. The team has learnt to roast, winnow, mill and press the beans from the experts to create an incredible chocolate to share.
