Origin & Craftsmanship
Crafted by Chocolate & Love, this bar features single-origin cacao beans from Panama, sourced from Fairtrade-certified cooperatives and processed with commitment to organic standards. 
The bean-to-bar approach ensures full flavour clarity and minimal processing, letting the terroir of Panama’s cacao shine through.

Flavor Profile
At 80 % cacao, this bar offers depth and intensity—but with surprising smoothness and balance. According to the maker, it’s “full-bodied yet mild, decadent and incredibly smooth with hints of nuts and an extraordinary chocolate flavour.”
Tasting notes commonly include delicate nut undertones, subtle fruit or tobacco complexity and a long, clean finish with little bitterness.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt gently on your tongue, allowing the rich cocoa depth to emerge first, followed by nutty and mild fruity uplift, and ending with a refined, lingering finish.
Pair this bar with a well-balanced red wine like a medium-bodied Merlot or a dry Madeira to echo its richness. For a non-alcoholic option, a roasted coffee or low-tannin oolong tea brings out its smooth cocoa profile. To add texture or contrast, enjoy with roasted pistachios, toasted almonds or a crisp biscuit.

Summary

The Panama 80% Dark Chocolate bar from Chocolate & Love is a pure-cacao offering that delivers serious flavour while remaining refined and approachable. Its high cacao content, single-origin pedigree and fair-trade/organic sourcing make it ideal for dark chocolate lovers seeking both depth and ethics in every bite.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
