TASTING NOTES
This unique bar from Zotter contains no sugar at all. Imagine a 70% dark chocolate with all the sugar replaced with milk powder. What you end up with is a chocolate that has all the intensity of a dark chocolate and the creaminess of a milk chocolate, but none of the sweetness of either.
As Annalisa Barbieri wrote in her Notes on Chocolate column:
“There’s one bar I can’t get enough of at the moment… It’s not going to be for everyone – due warning – but I love it and here’s why. There’s no added sugar, all the sugar in it is from the milk, so the sugar per 100g is only 12g, which is very low for most chocolate, let alone a milk one. But this bar is not like any other 70% cocoa bar you’ll try – it’s creamy, but it’s also super satisfying so you just don’t feel like pigging out on it.”
ABOUT THE MAKER
Josef Zotter is one of the long-established heroes of the craft chocolate movement. He has been producing chocolate since 1992, became famous for his wacky flavour combinations (scarlet runner bean and coriander pastry, anyone?), and was one of the earliest to produce 100% Organic and Fairtrade products. He has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of his growers around the world, engaging in numerous initiatives in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. He also runs an outstanding chocolate factory visitor experience – The Zotter Experience – that is a must-see for any chocolate-loving visitors to Austria.

This chocolate is so creamy. I am on a low carb, sugar free diet and I can get away with eating a bit of it as a special treat – which is what it should be anyway. It higher in carbs than my usual 100% chocolate bars but 100 times more delicious so for me it is worth eating a bit less and less often and enjoying it so much more. It It is has fewer carbs than some 85% bars and with zero sugar this is a much better option. It also has a wonderful mouthfeel and melts as chocolate should. I definitely recommend this (although as it is currently out of stock I am probably going to regret not keeping this delight a secret.
