Marou spent its early years scouring the Vietnamese countryside for great cacao. In trial and error, we met so many wonderful characters and got lost in such extraordinary places. The Marou adventure came to include budding engineers, old soldiers and die-hard pastry chefs. A curious taste for chocolate drew them all into Marou’s tent. We’re so much richer for having them. Setting the stage for the flavors of Ba Ria to shine, this bar is a marriage of fruity cacao, acidic lime and floral, refreshing ginger. Vietnamese cuisine is known for its celebration of bright, complimentary herbs and vegetables. Ginger and lime are two very commonly used ingredients in many Vietnamese dishes, and are cultivated throughout the country. The cacao, ginger, and lime are all grown in the same Vietnamese region.
