the best low-sugar dark chocolate in the world 2023
international chocolate awards – gold
friis-holm’s la dalia 85% chocolate is part of their playfully named ‘lazy cocoa growers blend’ series. this unique line emerged when their farmers declined to sort the cacao beans, leading to a delightful mix of varieties in each bar. the result? a complex and vibrant chocolate experience.
this 85% dark chocolate offers an intense flavor profile characterized by a pronounced acidity and distinct mineral notes. unlike its 60% and 70% counterparts, which feature prominent berry flavors, the 85% version showcases a different kind of acidity that perfectly balances the intensity of the cacao.
the vibrant acidity in this bar serves a crucial purpose: it lightens and elevates the chocolate, preventing the overwhelming intensity often associated with high-percentage cacao products. this creates a more nuanced and enjoyable tasting experience for dark chocolate enthusiasts.
la dalia 85% is part of a series that includes 60%, 70%, and 100% varieties, each offering its own unique flavour journey through the world of premium cacao.
