Chocolarder Pure 100% Dark Chocolate Bar – Unsweetened Peruvian Cacao
A 100% dark chocolate bar from Chocolarder, made without sugar or additives. Just cocoa beans, carefully worked to express the character of the cacao itself.
Sourced from Asháninka-grown cacao in the Peruvian rainforest, this bar leans into clarity rather than intensity. The profile opens slowly, moving through roasted nut depth into brighter, fruit-led notes.
There’s no masking here—flavour is shaped entirely by fermentation, roasting, and conching. The result is structured but balanced, with a dry finish that holds rather than overwhelms.
- 100% cacao with nothing added — no sugar, no emulsifiers
- Asháninka-grown Peruvian beans with distinct origin character
- Gradual flavour development: nutty, then citrus and plantain notes
- Bean-to-bar production in Cornwall, small batch
- Plastic-free, fully recyclable packaging
This sits firmly in the “pure cacao” category—closer to tasting raw material than confection. Despite that, it avoids the blunt bitterness often associated with 100% bars. The fruit acidity and roast are calibrated to keep it surprisingly rounded profile for an unsweetened chocolate.

Chocolarder is a Cornwall-based chocolate maker founded in 2012 by Mike Longman. Starting from a home kitchen, the brand has grown into a recognised UK bean-to-bar producer focused on making chocolate entirely in-house from ethically sourced cocoa beans.
The company is built on direct trade, organic ingredients, and low-impact production methods, including plastic-free packaging and slow, craft-led processing. Its approach combines transparency with strong flavour development, positioning Chocolarder firmly within the premium artisan chocolate market.
