Swedish Fika

Standout Chocolate is a Swedish artisan maker based in Gothenburg. They approach chocolate with a focus on precision and terroir, operating as a bean-to-bar producer that handles every stage of the process in-house. Their Swedish Fika bar is a tribute to the beloved Swedish tradition of the coffee break, transforming the ritual of sipping a warm brew into a tactile, melt-in-the-mouth experience.

This 69% dark chocolate is crafted using high-quality cacao beans sourced from the Acul-du-Nord region of Haiti. The beans undergo a careful six-day fermentation process in wooden boxes before being sun-dried on wooden tables. The bar is infused with coffee beans, cinnamon, and cardamom, creating a profile that balances the deep, earth-toned fruitiness of the Haitian cacao with the aromatic, warming spices synonymous with a classic Nordic fika.

Committed to quality and transparency, Standout Chocolate holds organic certification for this bar. The craft behind this specific creation has been recognized globally, earning a Silver award at the 2021 Academy of Chocolate and a Bronze medal at the 2021-22 International Chocolate Awards. Note that while the bar is crafted from plant-based ingredients, it may contain traces of milk.
