Mava is a young company, which acquired an old cacao plantation in Madagascar. Half of the plantation belongs to the Ramanandraibe family, one of the first Malagasy families to actively contribute to the post-colonial economy and industrial revitalisation of the island. The Mava plantation covers some 635 hectares, divided into eight different farms. All the cacao trees are grown organically, with a traditional agroforestry system. Ottange is the smallest of the eight farms and is located on the banks of the River Ramena. The beans from this harvest were awarded at the 2017 International Cacao of Excellence Awards. Genetics: mostly Trinitario. ACADEMY OF CHOCOLATE AWARDS - BRONZE 2021
