SLOK Chocolate
45 g
Fine Dark Chocolate
SLOK - Aged With Idaho 7 Hops 71%
Ranked in the World's Best Chocolate 2025.
Origin & Craftsmanship
This innovative bar from SLOK Chocolate is crafted by aging their Peru-sourced cocoa bars in a sealed environment with Idaho 7 hops, a process that allows the chocolate to absorb the hops’ aromatic qualities without adding bitterness or direct flavoring. It creates a refined marriage of tropical terroir and aromatic hop character.
Flavor Profile
Expect a sophisticated flavor experience where the fruity notes of Peruvian cacao—think vibrant, floral undertones—are complemented by tropical hop characteristics. The hops contribute nuances of apricot, grapefruit, papaya, resinous pine, and subtle black tea, giving the chocolate an elevated, Riesling-like elegance.
Accolades & Awards
This bar earned a Silver award in the Asia-Pacific region at the 2025 International Chocolate Awards, highlighting SLOK’s craftsmanship and creative innovation using natural aging methods.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let the bar slowly melt on your tongue to experience its layered complexity: the gentle floral berry notes of the cacao harmonize with the tropical, citrusy brightness and gentle pine from the Idaho 7 hops. Pair it with a crisp, dry white wine like Riesling or Grüner Veltliner to echo its fruity and floral elements. For a non-alcoholic option, a lightly brewed green tea emphasizes the tea and floral echoes. For textured pairings, try almond biscotti or dried tropical ceviche—both enhance its fruit-forward elegance and provide delightful contrast.
Summary
The SLOK Aged With Idaho 7 Hops 71% Dark Chocolate is a uniquely expressive bar—a refined interplay of Peruvian cacao and aromatic Idaho 7 hops. With pure ingredients, creative aging technique, and award recognition, it’s a standout for adventurous chocolate lovers who appreciate delicate complexity and storytelling in every bite.
We ship award-winning craft chocolate from our warehouse in Saint John, New Brunswick to more than fifty countries. Rates, transit times and free-shipping thresholds for every destination are below.
How We Protect Chocolate in Transit
Fine chocolate is temperature-sensitive by nature. We pack according to the forecast along the actual route, not the season on the calendar.
25–30°C (77–86°F) — insulated packaging
30–35°C (86–95°F) — double insulation with an ice pack
35–40°C (95–104°F) — double insulation with ice packs
Above 40°C (104°F) — the shipment may be held until conditions improve
We ship Monday to Thursday so nothing sits in a weekend warehouse, and a business delivery address gives chocolate a better chance than a doorstep in August. These measures reduce risk substantially. They do not eliminate it — in sustained heat, softening can still occur in transit.
Estimated Delivery Times
Every timeframe shown in the table, at checkout, or in a shipping confirmation is an estimate. Actual transit varies with destination, customs clearance and carrier operations, and peak periods and public holidays in either country affect it further. We dispatch promptly, but once a parcel is with the carrier we have little control over its progress, and we can't guarantee a delivery date.
Customs and Duties
Duties, import taxes and local handling fees are set by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in our shipping charge. Where a destination has a specific requirement, it's noted alongside that destination's rate.
If a carrier asks you for information to complete clearance, respond promptly. Parcels held for unanswered customs queries are usually returned or destroyed, and we can't recover them.
Orders With Pre-Order Items
An order that mixes in-stock and pre-order items ships complete, once every item has arrived. This avoids a second shipping charge. The expected date for a pre-order item appears on its product page and in your order confirmation, and you'll be emailed when the full order ships.
If you want the in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders. Pre-order items can't be expedited.
Damage, Melting and Delays
We don't refund or replace orders for melting, carrier delays, or customs-related outcomes. Our pricing reflects the protective packaging included in every order rather than a margin held back to cover weather.
If something arrives genuinely damaged, write to us within seven days with photographs of the parcel and its contents and we'll look at it.
Delivery to Specific Countries
For country-specific details on customs, transit and local requirements, see our pages for chocolate delivery to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

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.
