Fine Dark 99% Cacao

Vivani is a German bean to bar producer recognized for its commitment to high quality organic chocolate.

By managing the production process from bean to bar, Vivani maintains a focus on purity and sustainability, earning accolades such as the German Sustainability Award 2024 and the DLG Gold Award.

The profile of this bar is defined by its extreme cacao density, containing 99% cacao solids with a remarkably low sugar content of only 0.7 grams per 100 grams. It uses a blend of Criollo, Trinitario, and Forastero beans to create a complex foundation. Despite the high percentage, the melt is influenced by the inclusion of cocoa butter and a touch of coconut blossom sugar. Tasters may notice mild notes of caramel and the subtle sweetness of coconut blossom, finishing with a characteristic, slightly bitter aftertaste.

Sourcing is a cornerstone of this bar's identity, utilizing beans from the lush Bocas Del Toro region. The production adheres to strict standards, holding certifications for Organic, Vegan, and Kosher requirements, alongside Rainforest Alliance backing. Vivani avoids common industrial additives such as lecithin, vanillin, PGPR, or alternative vegetable fats, ensuring that the final product is an authentic expression of its Panamanian origin.
