Making tree to bar chocolates
The entire production of Chocolat Madagascar chocolates - from the harvesting of the cocoa beans, through their processing, to the subsequent production of the chocolates and their packaging - is carried out directly in Madagascar - the so-called tree to bar production. The cocoa beans are thus as fresh as possible at the time of processing, which has a significant impact on their taste and nutritional value.
Thanks to their full flavour, the chocolates taste great on their own, they are not unpleasantly bitter, and there is no need to add any additional flavourings or chemically treat them with alkalisation. This method of production also supports the local economy to the maximum extent possible and is also a highly environmentally friendly solution thanks to fuel savings. The Chocolat Madagascar brand has elevated the concept of fair trade to raise trade.
What is raise trade
The term 'raise trade' means that the chocolate is produced entirely in the country where the cocoa is grown. Most chocolates (traditional and fairtrade) import cocoa that continues to be processed in countries with economies that are rich compared to the country of origin of the cocoa.
Around 3% of the value is in the developing country that grows cocoa and 97% is in the processing country - a huge disparity for the economy of a developing country and a population that relies 100% on farming for its main livelihood.
Chocolat Madagascar is the only chocolate on this African island that has been actively practicing raise trade since 1940.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory doesn't exist
You may not know that by buying chocolate from a supermarket owned by a conglomerate like Nestlé, Unilever or Kraft, you are supporting child slavery in Africa or anywhere else where chocolate is grown.
Take a look at the back of your chocolate wrapper and find out who really makes it and where your hard-earned money goes. Cheap chocolate equals poor quality and unethical chocolate. Choose chocolate from a manufacturer such as Chocolat Madagascar.
If you want to try chocolates from other parts of the world, we have ultra high-end brands for you such as the British brand Tosier Chocolatemaker or the Belgian brand InCacao,where the emphasis is on fairtrade production and above all on using the best quality cocoa available in the world(both brands buy cocoa only from the best cocoa farms in the world - the top 5%).
Take a look at the chart below, where you can clearly see the difference in the size of the chocolate market - fine flavour chocolate versus certified meat chocolate versus regular meat chocolate, which costs 50 CZK.
High-end fine chocolate (in blue) you can't even see on the chart how tiny a percentage belongs to it. This is what we offer in our e-shop from the brands Tosier Chocolatemaker and InCacao. By buying them, you not only get to enjoy the true taste of chocolate, but more importantly, you support poor farmers who work very hard instead of rich corporate executives, TV advertising and marketing.
Let's put our money where it will make a difference. Thank you.

How are Chocolat Madagascar's chocolates different?
Indescribable taste
Thanks to the unique environment of the Madagascan rainforest, the soil and the climate, the cocoa beans grown here have a very specific flavour profile full of fruity notes - they taste of forest fruits, cherries and citrus. Chocolat Madagascar have a naturally very complex taste, without unwanted bitterness, and do not need to be flavored or chemically treated with alkalization.
Maximum freshness
Unlike most chocolate factories, Chocolat Madagascar is located close to cocoa plantations. The fermentation and drying of the cocoa beans takes place within a few days of harvest (other chocolate companies make chocolates from cocoa beans that are often a few years old). Thanks to this, cocoa beans retain the highest possible proportion of active substances, mainly flavonoids.
Sustainability
Cocoa beans are grown organically, so they do not harm the environment with unnecessary pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. On the contrary, they create a safe haven in the rainforest environment for Madagascar's endangered species.
Raise trade
Chocolat Madagascar buys its cocoa beans from small farmers who harvest them in the Sambirano Valley in north-west Madagascar. It pays them premium prices, which raises their standard of living. Further processing of cocoa, including the actual production of chocolates, also takes place in Madagascar. This provides a further not inconsiderable boost to the island's economy. This support increases the quality of education and skills of employees and their families, ultimately leading to increased wealth and support for this nation. It is thereforefair trade at the highest possible level - raise trade.
