Bejofo
A cacao growing region in Madagascar.
An estate area within the Sambirano valley whose name appears on bars in its own right — one of the few Madagascan sub-regional designations in use. It illustrates the level at which an origin claim becomes genuinely specific.
Does the name carry a designation?
An estate name rather than a protected designation.
It identifies a specific property, which is more informative than most origin claims and is not a legal protection.
