An 80% dark chocolate bar from HÖGANÄS, featuring award-winning cacao from the Hacienda San Jose estate in the Los Rios region of Ecuador.
The Dark 80% bar is produced by HÖGANÄS. The core of this chocolate is single-origin cacao harvested from the Hacienda San Jose estate, located in the Los Rios region of Ecuador. This specific lot of beans earned a Cacao of Excellence Gold award in 2023, reflecting the standard of cultivation at the source.
With an 80% cacao content, the bar maintains a focused profile consisting of only cocoa mass, cocoa butter, and sugar. The sensory experience is defined by the intensity of roasted cocoa nibs balanced by notes of walnut, oak, and smoke. A subtle presence of caramel and red fruits provides a secondary layer to the overall tasting experience.
The 70-gram bar is processed in a facility that also handles other ingredients, including nuts, milk, and soy lecithins. This information is provided for those managing specific dietary requirements. HÖGANÄS maintains transparency regarding their production environment to ensure consumers have the necessary information about potential allergen cross-contact.
