Where do the cacao beans used in your chocolates come from?

Our chocolate is made from cacao beans sourced from six provinces in southern Vietnam: Dak Lak, Lam Dong, Dong Nai, Ba Ria, Tien Giang, and Ben Tre. Each region imparts its unique flavor characteristics to the beans, enriching the diversity of our single-origin chocolate bars.

Are you committed to an ethical approach when it comes to sourcing your chocolate?

Yes, we are deeply committed to an ethical approach in sourcing our chocolate. Our philosophy centers on building long-term, direct relationships with small-scale farmers and fermenters in Vietnam. We ensure fair pricing, well above the average commodity market rates, providing financial stability and support to our producers. Additionally, our approach emphasizes sustainable farming practices, encouraging biodiversity and minimal chemical use.

Are you Fairtrade certified?

Marou Chocolate is not officially Fairtrade certified. We believe that our ethical and sustainable practices go beyond the standard Fairtrade requirements. That's why we have established our own label, "DOING GOOD & TASTING GOOD," which reflects our commitment to both exceptional quality and responsible sourcing.

Do you use organic ingredients?

While our focus is on high-quality, sustainable ingredients, our chocolates are not certified organic. We work closely with small-scale Vietnamese farmers who employ environmentally friendly practices, including diverse crop cultivation and minimal chemical use. This approach aligns with organic principles, but we prioritize direct support and fair pricing for farmers over the cost and process of organic certification.
