The Best 100% Chocolate: A Pure Indulgence

The Best 100% Chocolate: A Pure Indulgence

What is 100% Chocolate?

100% chocolate, also known as unsweetened or baking chocolate, is a type of chocolate that contains only cocoa solids and cocoa butter, with no added sugar or other sweeteners. It's enjoyed on its own by those who appreciate the rich, complex flavors of pure cocoa. Here at Bar & Cocoa we have the largest selection of single origin 100% chocolate bars in the world.

Why People Buy 100% Chocolate

With the rise of the craft chocolate movement and an increased focus on healthy, natural foods, 100% chocolate has gained popularity among consumers. People buy it for several reasons:

  1. Health Benefits: 100% chocolate is rich in flavonoids, a type of antioxidant that can promote heart health, reduce inflammation, and even improve brain function. It also contains iron, magnesium, and other essential minerals.
  2. Dietary Preferences: For those following low-sugar or sugar-free diets, 100% chocolate is an ideal choice. It's also suitable for vegan and dairy-free diets, as it contains only cocoa.
  3. Flavor: While it's certainly an acquired taste, many people enjoy the complex, nuanced flavors of 100% chocolate. With no sugar to mask the cocoa, these bars can showcase the diverse flavors of different cocoa bean varieties and origins.

The Best 100% Chocolates

The taste of 100% chocolate can be quite intense, especially for those who are used to sweetened chocolate. However, for those who appreciate (or are ready) the pure, unadulterated flavor of cocoa, these 100% chocolate bars offer a truly exceptional experience.

Perfect 10!

I wouldn't consider myself a chocolate fan, but I'm addicted to Domori chocolate! All the brands on Bar & Cocoa can't even be compared to what you would find at the grocery store, but even then Domori stands out. For me, it's uniquely gentle, creamy flavor is absolutely perfect - a must try for everyone, chocolate lover or not.

Great Company

Bar & Cocoa is one of my favorite companies. Their chocolate is top notch, prices are generally the best around, and shipping is fast. I’ve never had an issue with an order and purchase from B&C 2-3 times per year.

Exceeded my very high expectations

This was so wonderful, it is such a luxury to be able to rely on someone else to select chocolate for me. It is how I learn about chocolate that I have never had before. There is only one other chocolate company that comes close to Bar & Cocoa. This is an excellent value, I have a small serving almost daily and I could see this lasting several months or more.

What is bean to bar chocolate?

Bean to bar chocolate is chocolate that is made from scratch by the same producer, starting from the raw cacao beans and ending with the finished chocolate bars and treats. This process allows the chocolate maker to control every aspect of the chocolate making, such as roasting, grinding, conching, tempering, and molding. Bean to bar chocolate is often more flavorful, nuanced, and ethical than mass-produced chocolate. It reflects the artistry and craftsmanship of the maker and the quality and origin of the cacao.
