Absolute Dark is a 100% cacao bar made by Dutch producer Chocolate Makers, featuring Trinitario beans sourced from the Cibao Valley.
Absolute Dark is produced by Chocolate Makers, an artisan company based in the Netherlands. They distinguish themselves through a commitment to sustainable logistics, notably transporting their raw cacao beans from the Dominican Republic to the Netherlands via the emission-free sailing ship, the Tres Hombres.
This bar is crafted from 100% cacao using the Trinitario bean variety harvested in the Cibao Valley. As a bar containing no added sugar, it offers an unadulterated expression of the bean. Its profile earned recognition with an Academy of Chocolate Bronze award in 2018.
The production process prioritizes both environmental and social standards. The beans used in this 80-gram bar are sourced under Organic and Fairtrade certifications, ensuring rigorous oversight of the farming and supply chain practices.
