The World's Top Dark Chocolate Bars 2023

International Chocolate Awards 2023 - Silver

Tasting Profile & Experience

  • Flavor Journey: Begins with a robust wave of caramelized nuts (walnut/pecan), evolves into earthy, woody tones, and finishes with subtle tropical spices. 

  • Aroma & Texture: Bold and vigorous, yet well-balanced—no overpowering bitterness—and offers a clean, smooth, bean‑to‑bar mouthfeel. 

  • Noted Nuances: Tasters appreciate its invigorating character, describing it as “vigorous chocolate with caramel nutty and woody notes”.

Bean‑to‑Bar Craftsmanship

  • Single-Origin Integrity: Made from wild-grown, native cacao deep in the rainforest of Tumaco, less than 30 miles from Ecuador.

  • Ethical Impact: Produced in close collaboration with local Afro‑Colombian and Indigenous farming communities, supporting sustainable livelihoods and preserving cultural heritage.

  • Origin-Made Quality: Entirely crafted in Colombia, emphasizing transparency and origin-specific craftsmanship.

Why It Stands Out

  • Intense but Well-Balanced: At 82%, it delivers dark, bold intensity without excessive bitterness—an ideal choice for aficionados of deeply flavored dark chocolate.

  • Distinct Terroir Expression: Its full-bodied, earthy, and woody profile evokes the tropical rainforest setting—distinctly different from Andean or Amazonian cacao.

  • Support for Regeneration: With each purchase, you're investing in sustainable cacao production and positive change for Colombian coffee‑growing communities.

Perfect Pairings & Serving Tips

  • Enjoy as Is: Ideal to savor slowly to fully appreciate the layered caramel, nutty, and woody complexity.

  • Pair With: A robust black coffee or a barrel-aged rum to complement the earthy sweetness and spice notes.

  • Culinary Use: Great for baking or grating into desserts—adds depth and sophistication to your creations.

Summary: The Tumaco 82% bar is a bold yet balanced single-origin dark chocolate that reflects the rugged rainforest terroir and hardworking spirit of Tumaco’s farmers. Its caramel-nutty sweetness, rounded earthiness, and refined finish make it a standout choice for dark chocolate lovers—and a meaningful way to support regenerative cacao farming in Colombia.

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.
