Prague Chocolate - Aluna 50% Without Added Sugar
Ranked in the Top 100 Chocolates in the World.
A bean-to-bar chocolate sweetened only with dates and banana. No sugar of any kind.
Above-the-fold callout
This is the Aluna bar built to be eaten before a climb or after a session rather than after dinner. 50% cocoa with no added sugar at all — the sweetness comes entirely from dried dates and freeze-dried banana, with coconut and cashew folded in. What that gives you is a fruit-sweetened, slow-release kind of chocolate: fibre and fruit sugars instead of a spike, honest ingredients, nothing synthetic.
Origin & Craftsmanship
Prague Chocolate treats this like a real bar rather than a protein novelty. It starts with whole cocoa beans, ground and conched in their own Prague workshop, then sweetened not with cane or coconut sugar but with the fruit itself — ground dried dates and freeze-dried banana carrying their own vitamins, minerals and fibre alongside the sweetness. Coconut and cashew add body and a little richness, sunflower lecithin holds it together, and there's no palm oil, no gluten, and no refined sugar anywhere in the list. A functional bar made by people who mostly make fine chocolate, which is why it still tastes like chocolate.
Flavor Profile
Milder and rounder than the darker Aluna bars, as you'd expect at 50% — the cocoa sits in the background while date caramel and banana come forward, with coconut and toasted cashew underneath and a denser, chewier bite than a standard tablet. Sweet in a fruit-driven way rather than a sugary one, and satisfying enough to actually replace the cereal bar in your kit.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
This one earns its place in a bag rather than on a tasting board — break off a couple of squares before or after training, or mid-afternoon when the energy dips. If you are sitting down with it, it goes naturally with a flat white or a banana doubling down on the fruit, and it works crumbled over yoghurt or morning oats as much as eaten straight. Keep it out of a hot car, though — the fruit and nut content make it softer than a plain bar.
Summary
The Aluna 50% No Added Sugar is the honest performance bar: whole cocoa beans sweetened only with dates and banana, cashew and coconut for body, made bean-to-bar in Prague with nothing refined or synthetic in it. Fruit-driven, slow-release, gluten-free — the chocolate for the gym bag, the trail, and the afternoon slump.
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

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.
