Did you know…
That if you click on any of the links to buy chocolate or any items on Amazon, you pay the same price as if you went directly to the site? Some links offer free shipping depending where you live. Don't be shy, they are all reputable companies or I would not work with them.
Just off Africa's southeastern coast is the island of Madagascar. Here, the unique climate and soil create some of the best growing conditions for cocoa on the planet.
We actually make our chocolate from scratch (bean to bar) in Madagascar. This means every step of our process happens close to the source and our cocoa beans only spend a month between harvest and manufacturing. It also means the people of Madagascar benefit more (4x) from their own natural resources.
Madécasse was inspired by our Peace Corps experiences in Madagascar.
Madécasse is located at 523 Prospect Place, Suite 305, Brooklyn, NY
