Single Origin Madagascar 80% Dark
Beyond Good is one of the few brands that manufactures at the source in Madagascar, ensuring the cacao is processed fresh and providing more economic value to the local community. Their heirloom Criollo cacao is naturally less bitter.
Ingredients & Purity
Uses Madagascar heirloom cacao. Ingredients: Organic cocoa beans, organic cane sugar, organic cocoa butter, organic sunflower lecithin, organic vanilla extract.
Scientific Evidence
The use of heirloom cacao is significant as it represents only 5% of the world's cacao production, noted for superior flavor and chemical complexity.
Brand Transparency
They maintain a 100% transparent supply chain in Madagascar and Uganda, tracking every bag of beans back to the specific farmer.
Value Assessment
Slightly higher price point but justified by the 'Made in Africa' supply chain which is far more costly but ethically superior to shipping raw beans to Europe/US.
Why Not Alternatives?
While brands like Theo are organic, Beyond Good uses heirloom cacao (Criollo) which is rarer and more nutrient-dense than the common Forastero beans used by competitors.
