Since 2006 Cinagra produces fine chocolate in a factory located on the outskirts of [[Antananarivo]], about approximately 15 kilometres from the city centre. About 20 employees work in the factory, where its production facilities meet European [http://www.haccpalliance.org HACCP standards]. All processed cocoa beans originate from organic cocoa plantations in the northwest of Madagascar.

Cinagra differentiates between superior cocoa beans used for export and standard cocoa beans used for the local market. All cocoa beans undergo a quality check at the factory. Thereafter the cocoa beans are roasted for between 50 and 100 minutes to bring out the chocolate flavour and colour. After immediate cooling down , the beans are cracked, separating the hard outer shell from the cocoa nib. At the same time, the nibs are sorted by size and thereafter crushed in a grinding machine. The crushed nibs are mixed with other ingredients, such as cocoa butter, soya lecithin, sugar, milk powder and vanilla. This chocolate mixture undergoes the process of kneading and agitating in a conching machine for 72 hours non-stopat a temperature of around 50°C. After finishing When finished, the chocolate mixture is stored at 44°C until further processing. Depending on the final type of chocolate, a tempering machine adjusts the chocolate mixture to the necessary temperature (29°C for milk chocolate and 31°C for dark chocolate)which allows it to crystallise. The chocolate is now ready to be filled into bar forms or various theme forms. A cooling tunnel chills the chocolate slowly down to 4°C at the end of the process. The individual wrapping of the chocolate is made done by hand.
