Menakao milk chocolate with vanilla

An elegant milk chocolate, whose notes of butter and vanilla are reminiscent of the pleasure of fudge.

All this is conveyed by fruity and citrus aromas that are characteristic of the cocoa beans from Madagascar.

The image is a portrait of a Merina woman (“The One of the High Country”). The Merina occupied the region of Antananarivo, called Imerina. They are said to have reached the Highlands after arriving in Madagascar from Indonesia or Malaysia in the 2nd century BC. It was only later, during the reign of Andrianjaka, that Antananarivo became the capital of the kingdom. The name Imerina was first mentioned in the late 16th century by King Ralambo (1575-1610), who christened his kingdom “Imerina Ambaniandro” (the land high under the sun).
