Dark Milk 42%

Tony's Chocolonely is a prominent industrial chocolate producer based in the Netherlands. Known for its mission-driven approach to the cocoa industry, the brand aims to set a new standard for transparency and ethics in large-scale manufacturing. This Dark Milk 42% expression is presented in a signature 180 gram format, wrapped in a recognizable light blue wrapper adorned with a yellow banner and the Dutch phrase donkere melk.

This bar occupies the dark milk category, offering a higher cacao concentration than traditional milk varieties. With a 42% cacao content, the profile delivers a more pronounced cocoa mass presence without the use of alkalization, allowing the natural character of the beans to remain intact. The recipe focuses on a rich, velvety melt achieved through dried whole milk and cocoa butter, pointedly avoiding additives like vanillin or vegetable fats.

Sourcing is focused on West Africa, specifically drawing from cocoa communities in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. By utilizing Fair Trade certified cocoa, the producer emphasizes a commitment to structural change within the global supply chain. The final composition remains transparent, utilizing sugar, cocoa mass, and milk as primary pillars to create a satisfying bar with a dense, smooth mouthfeel.
