Marou Chocolate features heavily in my daily rotation of chocolates, so when we found ourselves in Saigon earlier this year, I immediately wrote to Samuel asking him if we could come see their factory.
“Consistently, it’s the idea of coming to a place where we’re doing something with others – and it’s making chocolate. Sam and I aren’t the only ones behind this company; we depend on all these wonderful people who it’s great to see every day being part of this chocolate making venture.”

Vietnam isn't a cocoa origin one normally hears about. Marou is changing that – by not only introducing people to the origin by way of high-quality chocolates, but also helping and working closely with farmers.
