Extra Dark Chocolate 70%, Tony's Chocolonely

Name: Extra Dark Chocolate 70%
Brand: Tony's Chocolonely
Rating: 3 (1 reviews)

Based in Amsterdam, Tony's Chocolonely is a brand defined by its mission to reform the global cocoa supply chain. This 180 gram bar is produced in Belgium, combining large scale production capabilities with a vocal commitment to social impact. Unlike small batch craft makers, Tony's operates as a high visibility brand aimed at bringing West African cocoa issues into the global spotlight.

The Extra Dark Chocolate 70% offers a classic Belgian profile that balances intensity with accessibility. Its texture is defined by a traditional mix of cocoa mass and cocoa butter, resulting in a smooth and consistent melt. While labeled as extra dark, the inclusion of 27 grams of sugar per 100 grams keeps the flavor profile approachable for those transitioning from milk chocolate. A signature characteristic is the mold itself: the bar is divided into unequal pieces to physically represent the unfair distribution of profits within the chocolate industry.

Sourcing for this bar focuses on West Africa, specifically Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, utilizing Fairtrade and B Corp certifications to support their ethical standards. For the discerning enthusiast, it is worth noting that a 2023 study by Consumer Reports identified lead levels at 134 percent of the California Maximum Allowable Dose Level in this specific bar. Despite these findings, the brand remains a central figure in conversations regarding transparency and labor practices in the cocoa sector.
