Ariba 39%

Chocolate Philosophy is a chocolate maker based in India that operates as a melter. The brand focuses on creating milk-based confectionery, including the Ariba 39% bar, which uses a combination of cocoa mass, cocoa butter, sugar, and whole milk powder.

This standard style milk chocolate relies on natural vanilla flavouring and soy lecithin to achieve its consistency. With an energy content of 596 kcal/100g, the bar highlights flavour notes of creamy, caramel, and fruity elements. The maker describes the tempering process, ensuring the bar meets specific standards for texture.

The brand maintains a focus on sourcing through direct-trade claims. The ingredients exclude vegetable fats, PGPR, and vanillin, opting instead for added cocoa butter and sugar to develop the bar profile.
