Mexico 74%

Moon Chocolate is a Czech bean-to-bar maker that produces this 50 g dark chocolate bar. As a producer operating within the bean-to-bar model, the maker oversees the manufacturing process of their bars from raw ingredients through to the final product.

This 74% dark chocolate is defined by a minimalist ingredient list consisting solely of roasted cocoa beans, cocoa butter, and cane sugar. The maker discloses that both roasting and conching are part of their production process, and they perform tempering to finish the bars. The recipe contains no lecithin, vanilla, vanillin, PGPR, or vegetable fats.

Moon Chocolate maintains direct-trade claims regarding the sourcing of their cocoa, which originates from Mexico. While the chocolate is dairy-free and contains no salt, the packaging carries an allergen statement noting that it may contain traces of nuts.
