Single-origin Colombian dark chocolate with Lion's Mane mushroom. Berry-driven, with a port-wine finish.

Above-the-fold callout
A 60% single-origin Colombian dark chocolate carrying 12% Hericium — the woody functional mushroom better known in English as Lion's Mane. It reads like a novelty and tastes like anything but: berries, cherry and cranberry up front, a port-wine depth on the finish, the mushroom folded in so cleanly it lends body rather than announcing itself. One of the more genuinely interesting bars Prague Chocolate makes.

Origin & Craftsmanship
The chocolate base is pure Aluna — ancient criollo crossed with trinitario, grown on a single family farm in Colombia, bought direct and sweetened with low-glycaemic coconut sugar. The Hericium is what makes this bar unusual: Prague Chocolate developed it following a challenge set by two Czech technical universities, as part of a supported research project, which is a rarer provenance line than most inclusion bars can claim. The mushroom is milled into the chocolate at 12%, with no palm oil, no gluten and nothing synthetic, so what you get is a functional bar built by fine-chocolate makers rather than a supplement wearing a chocolate coat.

Flavor Profile
This is where the bar earns its keep. The maker's own notes hold up on tasting: red and dark berries first — cherry, cranberry, blackberry — then a deep, almost wine-like finish that recalls port. The Hericium sits underneath as a soft, woody, savoury note that rounds the fruit rather than fighting it. At 60% it stays approachable, fruit-forward and balanced, not the earthy hit you might brace for from a mushroom bar.

Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let it melt slowly so the berry notes and the port finish have room to arrive. It pairs, fittingly, with an actual glass of port or a medium-bodied red that echoes the dark-fruit register, and it's a natural after a black coffee if you want to keep the functional theme running through the cup. For something contrasting, an aged, salty hard cheese snaps the fruit into focus. This is a bar for the curious — the Lion's Mane crowd and the fine-chocolate crowd meet here.

Summary
The Aluna 60% with Hericium is Prague Chocolate at their most inventive: single-origin Colombian cacao, coconut-sweetened, carrying a functional Lion's Mane mushroom developed through a university research project, and tasting of berries and port rather than anything medicinal. Functional, fruit-forward, and genuinely different — for the drinker who wants their chocolate to do a little more.

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.
