Palm Sugar Dark 70%

Chitra'm is an Indian chocolate maker that focuses on bean-to-bar production. By working with locally sourced Indian cacao, the brand highlights regional agricultural output while maintaining control over the manufacturing process. The Palm Sugar Dark 70% bar reflects a commitment to regional ingredients by pairing domestic cacao with palm sugar.

The production process relies on a melanger to refine the cacao nibs and butter into a finished bar. By utilizing palm sugar as an alternative sweetener, the profile moves away from the sharp sweetness of traditional refined sugar. The resulting bar offers a muted, earthy sweetness that balances the natural intensity of the 70% cacao content. This specific approach earned recognition as a bronze medal winner at the International Chocolate Awards Asia-Pacific 2018.

The composition of the bar remains intentionally minimalist, featuring only two primary components, which are cacao and palm sugar. Each bar is portioned at 48 grams, allowing the ingredient profile to remain the primary focus for those evaluating the interaction between alternative sweeteners and Indian-origin cocoa.
