Dark Orange

The Dark Orange bar is crafted by Meurisse, a storied name in the Belgian chocolate tradition. Established in 1845, Meurisse holds the distinction of being Belgium's first chocolate company. Their approach bridges historical expertise with a contemporary focus on high-quality, transparent ingredients, resulting in a product that respects the legacy of Belgian chocolate making.

At a 73% cacao concentration, this bar offers a sophisticated sensory experience. It features Trinitario beans sourced from the lush Sepik River region of Papua New Guinea, providing a robust foundation that pairs elegantly with bright, citrusy orange notes. The formulation relies on pure cocoa mass, cane sugar, and cocoa butter, intentionally excluding additives like lecithin, PGPR, and vegetable fats to preserve the integrity of the bean profile.

Meurisse underscores its commitment to quality through rigorous sourcing standards, with this particular bar carrying both Organic and Fair Trade certifications. While the recipe focuses on clean ingredients like natural vanilla and authentic orange, those with specific dietary requirements should note that the facility processes various nuts and grains, meaning traces of gluten, milk, soy, and multiple nut varieties may be present.
