These are dark chocolates whose origins are specific to a region or plantation. Quality can depend upon the quality of the beans and their processing so make sure to taste before buying.

To understand chocolate flavor, you need to understand the different types of Theobroma cacao. The types of true cacao originated in South America. The first to be discovered and cultivated by the European growers was the criollo (pronounced kree’owlow) from northern South America. Its name means “native birth" and if processed correctly, as it has low acid levels and produces a complex, full-flavored chocolate. Unfortunately, the criollo is the most difficult cacao tree to grow, so this type accounts for approximately one percent of the world’s cocoa production. Also it is hard to find, as cross pollination has further diluted the type over time.

Later the forestero (“of the forest”) from the Amazon basin was discovered and began to be cultivated. While the forestero cacao bean itself had a more bitter and acidic flavor, it was a very hardy plant and produced many more fruit pods. Because of those attributes, the forestero has grown in popularity to account for approximately 92 percent of the world’s cocoa production today.

The amelonado was originally a Lower Amazon forestero type that was cultivated in Bahia and the Caribbean islands. Because of its hardiness, this forestero then made its way to West Africa. The amelonado has a mellow flavor that is perfect for milk chocolate.

The trinitario (“native of Trinidad”) cacao type was born after disease devastated the criollo cacao plantations in Trinidad in the 1700s. After the disease had passed, plantations decided to reestablish their business by importing forestero stock from Venezuela. The new stock crossed with the few remaining criollo trees. The hybrid that developed combined the hardiness of the forestero with the full flavor of the criollo. The trinitario type accounts for approximately 5 percent of the world’s cocoa production.

The nacional type is a forastero hybrid cross that surfaced in Ecuador with unknown origins. It has a robust sweet and fruity flavor that is easy to identify and accounts for approximately 2 percent of the world's cocoa production.

Over the centuries the types of cacao have been mixed and mingled so that origins are sometimes hard to discern, and the differences in flavor can vary from one plantation to another, even though the type is the same. So there are now.

With all these flavor differences between types, as well as differences within the type itself, depending on growing conditions and region, chocolate manufacturers and craft chocolate makers can make the flavor of their chocolate products unique by using different cocoa beans that have been fermented and dried to their specifications.

All our chocolate products are made in our kitchen in Singapore to ensure maximum freshness. the recipes are all developed by Laurent Bernard, ensuring we get the very best out of the specific beans.

We support modern medical advice, which discredits the concept of ‘diabetic chocolate’. Enjoyed responsibly, chocolate can be enjoyed as part of everyone’s healthy balanced diet. Of course, it helps that the 100% grades in our Vintage range do not contain any added sugar and the high cocoa milks contain as little as 17% added sugar.

We believe our dark chocolate is suitable for vegans, however as it is made in the same environment as our milk chocolate we cannot guarantee it is free from milk traces.

Conching is all about developing the flavour of your chocolate. The more you conch the more mellow and smooth the flavours will become, the shorter you conch the more punchy and powerful the flavours will be.

How do you determine the cocoa percentage on the products that display a percentage?

As we move down the page from that category, the cocoa percentage decreases as the sugar increases (along with the percentage of milk products in milk and white chocolate). And there are many different percentage content steps in between the major categories.

But don't just assume that a high cocoa content bar will taste better than a low percentage bar. Chocolate flavor preferences, like wine, vary with each of our palates. Also percentage doesn't let you know if the beans themselves were of good quality and whether they were processed correctly to bring out the beautiful flavor notes. Fermentation, drying and roasting are as important as the beans themselves in producing a great flavor.

We do not include candles or plastic knife you may purchase them and other goodies from Cake Add-Ons.
