The World's Top Dark Chocolate Bars 2024

International Chocolate Awards 2024

Flavor Profile & Sensory Journey

  • Aromatic & Elegant: This bar unfolds with delicate and enticing aromas of flowers, mandarin, honey, and a hint of yogurt tang—a floral‑fruity elegance that feels both refined and vibrant.

  • Textural Experience: Soft and smooth in mouthfeel, it presents a gentle, approachable texture that’s ideal for savoring.

  • Tasting Impressions: Imagine fresh blossoms merging with creamy citrus notes and sweet honey, with a light glaze of tangy yogurt—the experience is both charming and unforgettable.

Craft & Origin Story

Cacao Hunters is dedicated to celebrating Colombia’s diverse cacao heritage. The Arauca bar reflects this mission—its beans are sustainably sourced directly from local farmers along Colombia’s expansive river valleys. This approach not only supports ethical chocolate production but also contributes to revitalizing cacao farming traditions in formerly marginalized regions.

Recognition & Awards

This chocolate has received multiple Silver medals at the International Chocolate Awards (notably in 2019 and earlier) for its graceful expression of terroir and balanced flavor profile.

Why Arauca 70% Stands Out

  • Delicately Expressive: Not all dark chocolates are bold and bitter—this bar charms with subtlety, offering nuanced floral and citrus notes that unfold with each bite.

  • Sustainable & Impactful: By supporting small-scale Colombian farmers, Arauca reflects both flavor and purpose, contributing to economic regeneration and chocolate craftsmanship at origin.

  • Globally Acclaimed: Its accolades reinforce its standing as a refined and thoughtfully crafted chocolate worth exploring.

Tasting & Pairing Suggestions

  • Mindful Tasting: Let a square melt slowly, allowing the floral and honey notes to blossom gradually before finishing with a soft citrus tang.

  • Perfect Pairings: Try this bar with light oolong or jasmine teas, delicate sparkling wines, or a soft, floral-infused cocktail to accent its floral-citrus character.

  • Creative Use: Grate lightly over panna cotta or citrus desserts to amplify the lemony, floral layers without overpowering sweetness.

Summary

The Arauca 70% by Cacao Hunters is a beautifully crafted dark chocolate that whispers rather than shouts. It’s floral, creamy, subtly fruity, and deeply rooted in Colombian terroir and sustainable sourcing. Ideal for chocolate lovers seeking elegance, nuance, and purpose in every bite.

Unsere Schokoladenhersteller verzichten in ihren Produkten stolz auf den Einsatz künstlicher Stabilisatoren oder Konservierungsmittel, wodurch ihre Kreationen im Vergleich zu anderer Premium-Schokolade temperaturempfindlicher sind.

Um ein optimales Geschmackserlebnis zu gewährleisten, empfiehlt es sich, unsere Pralinen an einem kühlen, trockenen Ort bei einer Temperatur zwischen 16 °C und 18 °C aufzubewahren. Bitte vermeiden Sie es, unsere Pralinen im Kühlschrank aufzubewahren, da dies aufgrund der erhöhten Luftfeuchtigkeit zur Zuckerkristallisation führen kann, was ihre Textur und ihren Geschmack verändern kann.

Im Gegenteil: Bei zu hohen Temperaturen kann sich die Kakaobutter trennen und einen weißen Film auf der Oberfläche der Schokolade bilden. Dieser Verlust an Kakaobutter kann dazu führen, dass die Schokolade austrocknet und sich infolgedessen der Geschmack verändert. Durch eine sorgfältige Lagerung können Sie die Integrität unserer köstlichen Schokolade bewahren.
