Maragnan 75% – Dark Chocolate

Bonnat Chocolate – Maragnan 75%

The Bonnat Maragnan chocolate is a dark chocolate with 75% cocoa content. The 100g chocolate bar is produced by Chocolat Bonnat, which has been based in Voiron, France, since 1884.

Unique Bonnat chocolate from the Maragnan cocoa variety. This cocoa bean was actually considered extinct for more than 30 years. Ten years ago, Stephane Bonnat discovered a very old plantation with 27 trees in Brazil. He helped with its reconstruction, and today it produces a dark chocolate with a wonderfully floral, fruity character. This chocolate bar, neither too thick nor too thin, has a good snap.

In addition to the classic Grand Cru bars, Stéphane Bonnat is constantly developing new Grand Crus d’Exception that come from more narrowly defined growing regions, such as Los Colorados, Maragnan, Cocoa Cusco, Morenita, Haiti, Cuba, Selva Maya, and Madre Dios. They not only attract attention with their colorful wrappers but also, undoubtedly, with their special aroma.

Bonnat's universe of taste

The Bonnat company was founded in 1884 and is still operating in its 4th generation at the old address in Voiron in the Isère valley. They import the cocoa beans themselves, which are carefully selected from 8 different growing regions. To do this, Stephane Bonnat travels all over the world and buys directly from small plantations or cocoa farmers. The already fermented beans are first gently roasted and then conched (i.e., "kneaded") in a process lasting about 20 hours. From the rather dry beans, a thick liquid mass is thus created through the release of cocoa butter. In industrial production, cocoa varieties from various growing regions are then mixed until the desired taste is achieved. Bonnat refrains from precisely that.

Like no other, he manages to bring out and let taste the typical characteristics of the respective cocoa bean from the respective growing region and even the peculiarities of the vintage (influenced by the weather). Similar to a good wine, the chocolate thus shows its origin, its terroir. Bonnat were the first to give their chocolates technical terms from the world of fine wines, such as Origin or Grand Cru.

For the production of chocolate, Chocolat Bonnat only uses cocoa, cocoa butter, and sugar. Foreign substances and emulsifiers play no role in the Bonnat family's production process, unlike many "big" brands. Which region is your favorite? Discover the world's cocoa growing regions with Bonnat.
