Fine Dark Chocolate
Slitti - Fino De Aroma Vivace, Madagascar BIO, 75%
Origin & Craftsmanship
Part of Slitti’s Fino de Aroma organic line, Vivace celebrates the vibrant character of Madagascar’s famous cacao. Harvested in the Sambirano Valley, this organic Trinitario variety is known for its bright acidity and red-fruit intensity. Slitti’s gentle roasting and long conching process preserve the bean’s complex aromatics while refining the texture into a signature smooth, Italian finish.
Flavor Profile
Vivace opens with vivid notes of raspberry, red currant, and citrus peel, followed by subtle floral undertones and a clean, elegant cocoa backbone. The balance between fruity brightness and silky bitterness defines its personality — lively (“vivace”) yet harmonious, making it one of the most expressive bars in Slitti’s collection.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Allow a square to melt slowly to reveal the progression from sharp berry acidity to mellow cocoa warmth. Pair with a Pinot Noir or ruby port to echo its fruit tones, or try a bergamot-infused black tea for a lighter match. Complementary foods include roasted hazelnuts, dried cherries, or orange-zested dark desserts that highlight the bar’s natural brightness.
Summary
Slitti’s Fino de Aroma Vivace BIO 75% captures the essence of Madagascar cacao — aromatic, fruity, and full of life. Crafted with organic beans and Slitti’s precise Italian technique, it’s a sophisticated expression of terroir, ideal for dark-chocolate lovers seeking vibrant complexity and a lingering, elegant finish.
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.
