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.

Nos chocolatiers s'abstiennent fièrement d'utiliser des stabilisateurs ou des conservateurs artificiels dans leurs produits, ce qui rend leurs créations plus sensibles à la température par rapport aux autres chocolats haut de gamme.

Pour garantir une expérience gustative optimale, il est conseillé de conserver nos chocolats dans un endroit frais et sec où la température oscille entre 16°C et 18°C. Nous vous conseillons de ne pas réfrigérer nos chocolats, car cela pourrait provoquer une cristallisation du sucre due à l'augmentation de l'humidité, altérant ainsi leur texture et leur saveur.

Au contraire, s'il est conservé à des températures trop élevées, le beurre de cacao peut se séparer et former un film blanc à la surface du chocolat. Cette perte de beurre de cacao peut entraîner un dessèchement du chocolat et, par conséquent, une altération potentielle de sa saveur. Vos pratiques de conservation réfléchies contribueront à préserver l'intégrité de nos délicieux chocolats.
