Why Vietnamese Chocolate Is Gaining Global Attention

Vietnam has emerged as a surprising new player in the world of premium chocolate. Just over a decade ago, Vietnamese chocolate was relatively unknown on the global stage. Today, it’s celebrated by bean-to-bar makers, chefs, and chocolate lovers around the world — thanks to its high-quality cacao, transparent supply chains, and creative flavor profiles.

From Cacao Farms to Fine Chocolate Bars

Vietnam’s cacao production started in the early 2000s with development support from agricultural NGOs. Now, regions like Dak Lak, Ben Tre, and Ba Ria–Vung Tau are home to fine-flavor cacao farms. Vietnam is one of the few Asian countries classified by the International Cocoa Organization as a producer of fine flavor cacao, alongside countries like Madagascar and Ecuador (ICCO, 2023).

What Makes Vietnamese Chocolate Unique?

Several factors distinguish Vietnamese chocolate from other origins:

Single-origin transparency – Most brands specify farm location, cacao variety, and processing method.
Tropical fruit notes – Vietnamese cacao often has natural flavors like citrus, lychee, and passionfruit.
Fusion innovation – Local chocolate makers experiment with regional ingredients like coconut, ginger, and even fish sauce.

Bean-to-bar craftsmanship – Brands like Marou and Alluvia produce directly from cacao bean to finished chocolate bar, ensuring quality control (Marou, 2024).
