Chocolate Purveyors 2 - Samuel Maruta

Chocolate Purveyors 2 - Samuel Maruta

When I was first introduced to craft chocolate, one of the early chocolate bars I tasted was Marou's Dak Lak 70%, the bar instantly became one of my favorites and can be found in my stash at all times. After tasting the bar, I read about Marou's origins and was intrigued. Not many chocolate makers use Vietnamese cacao and there is even fewer Vietnamese bean to bar chocolate makers. I reached out to Samuel and was ecstatic when he accepted to participate in our interview.
