Marou Chocolate

Marou Faiseurs de Chocolat was founded by Samuel Maruta and Vincent Mourou in 2011. The two Frenchmen created the first bean-to-bar chocolate maker in Vietnam, using exclusively selected Vietnamese cacao and transforming it into premium chocolate in the same country. Our chocolate factory is located in the Thu Duc district of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest city, where we produce our artisan dark chocolate bars. The bars are sold in speciality stores in Vietnam and overseas. In 2016 we opened our first Maison Marou in Ho Chi Minh City, then in 2017 we opened Maison Marou Hanoi, which brings the same concept to Vietnam's capital. More than just a café and retail place, both Maison Marou are small but fully functional bean-to-bar chocolate factories where customers can see cacao turn into chocolate and pastry. We are a small craft chocolate maker, making high-quality chocolate bars. All the ingredients are sourced from Vietnam. The beans come from different regions across the southern part of the country, where the climate is suitable for growing cacao. Each region is represented by its own bar, and this brings out the particular flavor characteristics of the different beans, it's the characteristic 'Terroir' concept applied to chocolate, instead of wine. Made in Vietnam, our bars are now sold and enjoyed around the world.
