Pure Dark 70% Cocoa

Beyond Good is a United States-based bean-to-bar chocolate maker that brings a unique approach to the industry by also producing vanilla. By managing their production process from the raw bean to the finished product, they maintain a close connection to the source of their ingredients, specifically highlighting the distinct characteristics of cacao grown in Madagascar.

This 70% cocoa bar is crafted for those who enjoy a balanced, fruit-forward dark chocolate experience. With a simple ingredient list including cocoa beans, cane sugar, cocoa butter, and sunflower lecithin, the bar highlights the natural brightness of Madagascan cacao. Tasters can expect a flavor profile defined by sweetness akin to brown sugar, complemented by the lively, acidic notes of raspberry and cherry.

The company prioritizes ethical standards, holding USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Direct Trade certifications. While these practices emphasize their commitment to transparent sourcing, it is worth noting for health-conscious consumers that some independent testing, such as that conducted by Consumer Reports, has identified levels of cadmium and lead in this product that align with results found across many dark chocolate varieties in the current market.
