Introduction to Craft Chocolate: High Percentage Box

About the box

If you’re new to craft chocolate, this box is a great place to start.

Cocoa Runners have put together an introductory collection with some high percentage dark craft chocolate classics. We have two bars from Pump Street and Standout, both at 85% but from different origins. Try both and see the difference in the tasting notes, noticing whether one tastes fruitier, more smoky, or more intense.

Then, we have a 85% dark bar from Taza, who use traditional Mexican stone grinding techniques to create a grainy texture.

Lastly, we have a 100% bar from Zotter, with a strong fruity flavour.

Included in this box:

Pump Street Chocolate – Ecuador Dark 85%

The Ecuadorian cocoa in this bar gives it a powerfully roasted, slightly yeasty flavour with an astringency that remains in the mouth as a pleasant aftertaste. Smooth and with a clean snap, this bar has green notes and is perfect for those who love their chocolate dark and powerful.

Standout – Semuliki Forest, Uganda, Dark 85%

This 85% dark Ugandan bar from Standout Chocolate is a perfect darker alternative to their 70% counterpart. The bar is smooth, consisting of notes of tropical stone fruits, citrus, and bananas.

Taza Chocolate – Mexican-style Super Dark 85%

In these super dark 85% discs, the result of stone-grinding with just two ingredients is an intensely chocolatey and richly flavoured bar that is more sweet than bitter, showcasing the bold flavours of the beans.

Zotter – Maya, 100%

A nicely tannic 100% bar with a complex flavour profile dominated by spiced and toasted nuts.
