European Blueberry

Standout Chocolate is a small-batch, bean-to-bar maker based in Sweden. They dedicate themselves to highlighting the distinct characteristics of high-quality cacao through careful, intentional processing. By keeping production small and focused, they maintain a direct connection to every stage of their craft.

The European Blueberry bar is a testament to the harmony between deep cacao and tart fruit. With a 63% cacao content sourced from the Duarte Province in the Dominican Republic, the chocolate offers a nuanced base that serves as a canvas for the inclusion of real blueberries. The texture is refined using a melanger, ensuring a consistent and smooth melt that allows the complex notes of the Dominican beans to emerge alongside the bright, fruity accents of the berries.

Beyond the flavor, the maker holds a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. The bar is crafted from organic ingredients and utilizes sustainable packaging solutions, including biodegradable biofilm for the inner wrap and FSC-certified wood pulp for the exterior. Their dedication to excellence was recognized on the global stage with a Bronze medal at the 2021 International Chocolate Awards.
