Bonnat – Java, Dark Milk 65%

About the bar

Made with a rare ‘blonde’ cocoa from the island of Java, this is a dark milk chocolate bar with a distinctive flavour. From the very first bite we detected a smokiness that remained with us from the start. This smokiness is much more pronounced than in the Surabaya bar, and here this is paired with a silky caramel sweetness. A rich, complex dark milk chocolate bars, that is sure to please those who are already fans of this French maker’s signature style.

Packing in 65% cocoa solids means this is bar is much more intense than many milk chocolate. What’s more, generous proportion of cocoa butter and milk give this undeniably rich bar a wonderuflly creamy flavour. However, as this is a dark milk chocolate, this bar gets much of its sweetness from the natural sugars of the milk and the cocoa fruit. In fact, when compared to mainstream milk chocolate, it actually contains relatively little added sugar.
