Quinoa Crisp & Pink Salt

Modello Chocolate is an artisan, bean-to-bar maker based in India. By managing the transformation from raw cacao to finished bar in-house, they maintain direct oversight of their production process. The brand focuses on incorporating locally inspired and globally sourced inclusions to complement their single-origin cacao base.

This milk chocolate bar utilizes a melanger to refine the ingredients, resulting in a smooth texture that carries notes of whole milk and vanilla. The inclusion of popped quinoa provides a distinct, airy crunch, while a sprinkle of Himalayan pink salt acts to lift the sweetness of the milk solids. It is a carefully measured 50-gram bar, created to balance the creamy profile of the cacao with sharp, savoury seasoning.

The foundation of the bar relies on high-quality cacao beans, blended with whole milk powder, sugar, and sunflower lecithin. Modello Chocolate operates with direct trade practices to source their materials. Production occurs in a facility that also handles nuts and dairy, and consumers with severe allergies should note this shared environment.
