COOKING
100% cacao Sambirano is a true chef’s ingredient; it inspires.
Make supreme truffles, reflecting perfectly the flavour of the bean, or add a little to your savoury cooking to add depth of flavour, colour and shine eg to gravies and casseroles.
For more intense flavour in cakes and desserts, use 100% cacao to replace 70% dark chocolate.
Adjust the ingredient quantities as follows.
Take 70% of the quantity of chocolate and make this the quantity of cacao.
Take 30% of the quantity of chocolate and add this amount of extra sugar.
I make cacao from ‘bean to bar’ to capture the mind-blowing different flavours of the world’s great cacaos.
This Madagascan treasure develops its juicy notes of summer fruits on the banks of Sambirano river.

This beautiful cacao is made from a Trinitario bean from the Bejofo Estate in the Sambirano Valley in the north west of Madagascar.
Aromatic cacao has been grown here since 1920 and has established a world wide reputation.
These are fine Trinitario beans that have been certified organic.
I describe it’s flavour notes as summer fruits – imagine you have a bowl of berries that you have given a quick squeese of lemon juice.
Use this 100% cocoa in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Plus it makes the most fantastic fresh cream truffles.
This is a particularly good way to catch the flavour notes of the cacao.
Given its fruity flavour profile, use Chulucanas cacao in recipes that involve fruit.
So if you were making a mousse to serve with a fruit coulis, or making a gooey pudding with jam in the bottom.
If a recipe asks for 100g dark chocolate, simply put in 70g of cacao and an extra 30g of sugar.
Use these 70:30 proportions to convert any recipe.
