Michel Cluizel has a series with delicious single origin chocolates.
Mangaro is made with cacao beans from Madagascar and has the typical fruity flavor notes from that country, especially citrus, but also a hint of honey. Maralumi is made with cacao beans from Papua New Guinea and has strong fruity flavor notes of raisins, red currants and tobacco. Los Ancones is made with cacao beans from the Dominical Republic, and has also flavor of dried fruits like raisins and plums. Tamarina is made with cacao beans from Sao Tome and has a very rich and complex flavor.
Michel Cluizel won Academy of Chocolate’s gold award 2006 for Michel Cluizel Maralumi in the category “Best bean to bar”, silver for Michel Cluizel Mangaro, and bronze for Michel Cluizel Tamarina.

Chocovic is a high-quality chocolate manufacturer located in the Barcelona city of Vic, Spain. Originally, the company was started in 1872 under the name Chocolates Arumi, and got its present name after being purchased by a Dutch group in 1977. They are producing a series of single origin chocolate bars (see photos), in addition to couverture chocolate series, primarily intended for professionals.
The Guyave is made with trinitario cacao beans fram Grenada and has a delicious fruity flavor with slightly bitter aftertaste. The Ocumare is made with criollo beans from Venezuela and has a stronger flavor of dried fruits like plums and raisins. The Guaranda is made with forastero beans from Ecuador, and has also a nice, somewhat fruity flavor, although weaker than the two others.
