Amsterdam Milk Caramel Sea Salt

Tony’s Chocolonely, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, operates as a mission-driven producer with a global presence. Known for their vibrant packaging and substantial bars, they focus on transforming the cocoa industry from within. This specific 180 gram bar is iconic not just for its size but for its unique mold. Instead of traditional uniform squares, the chocolate is divided into unequal pieces to visually represent the unfair distribution of profits across the global cocoa supply chain.

The sensory experience is defined by a classic European milk chocolate profile with a 32% cocoa solids content. The texture provides a velvety melt that contrasts with a distinct, satisfying crunch. The recipe features 10% caramel pieces and 0.50% sea salt, creating a flavor profile where intense creamy sweetness meets sharp, savory highlights. Because the cocoa is non-alkalized, it retains a robust character that is smoothed by the inclusion of dried whole milk and cream powder.

Sourcing for this Milk Caramel Sea Salt bar focuses on West Africa, with beans originating from Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. As both a B Corp and Fairtrade certified entity, the brand emphasizes structural integrity and ethical accountability. The ingredients include cocoa butter and cocoa mass along with soya lecithin as an emulsifier. While the sugar and fat content reflect a traditional, indulgent milk chocolate style, the sourcing remains dedicated to social impact within the regions of origin.
