Almond & Sea Salt 75%

Produced by the bean-to-bar maker Bahen & Co, this 75% dark chocolate bar is a staple of their production in Australia. The maker focuses on traditional methods, processing cocoa beans into finished bars at their own facility to maintain control over the final profile. The bar is defined by its dark chocolate base and specific inclusions.

The flavor profile relies on the contrast between the dark cocoa and the added ingredients. This bar incorporates Australian almonds and Maldon sea salt, which provide a crunchy texture and a sharp salinity that balances the bitterness of the 75% cacao content. Instead of standard cocoa butter, the recipe features Margaret River olive oil, which alters the mouthfeel and finish compared to typical dark chocolate.

The ingredients list includes cocoa beans, organic raw sugar, Australian almonds, Maldon sea salt, and Margaret River olive oil. Potential buyers should be aware that the bar contains nuts and may contain traces of milk and eggs due to the manufacturing environment. Each bar weighs 75 grams.
