Bitter chocolate 70%

Description

Bitter chocolate 70% is an intense product with a dark brown, shiny color and a distinctly bitter, slightly fruity-nutty flavor with a subtle tartness of cocoa notes. The texture is brittle, melting smoothly in the mouth, offering a rich aroma typical of high-percentage cocoa. Nutritionally, 70% chocolate provides a significant amount of calories and fat from cocoa butter, as well as fiber, magnesium, iron, and antioxidants (flavonoids) that support cardiovascular health and cognitive functions when consumed in moderation. It usually contains less sugar than milk chocolate, which gives a greater sense of satiety. In the kitchen, it works well for cakes, ganache, sauces, drinks, and pairing with fruits, cheeses, or wine. Store it in a dry, cool place (12–20°C), tightly sealed, away from odors; avoid the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
