A 75% dark chocolate bar from Bahia, Brazil, featuring a blend of Espelette pepper and fleur de sel for a warm and aromatic finish.
Chocolat Noir Piment d'Espelette 75% is an organic dark chocolate bar that highlights the specific terroir of Bahia, Brazil. The inclusion of Espelette pepper and fleur de sel transforms the traditional 75% cacao base into a study of contrast and regional seasoning, balancing the natural intensity of the beans with localized culinary influences.
The sensory profile of this bar is defined by its warming qualities. Upon tasting, the notes are categorized as warmly spicy and aromatic, supported by the subtle salinity of the fleur de sel. This combination ensures that the heat from the Espelette pepper does not overwhelm the base notes of the Brazilian cacao, but rather elevates the aromatic compounds found in the roast.
The bar is crafted with a minimal ingredient list consisting solely of cocoa beans, blonde cane sugar, Espelette pepper, and fleur de sel. Recognition for this profile was achieved at the 2026 International Chocolate Awards, where the bar received a Bronze award. Each 70-gram bar reflects a focus on ingredient transparency and the application of traditional flavor pairings.
