The cocoa beans used in Chocolove, are premium beans, which means they are fully ripened and free of any bad beans. The fully ripened bean allows for proper chocolate flavor development upon roasting. The beans are roasted just enough to develop chocolate flavor. Chocolove chocolate is ground finer and conched longer than most chocolates to provide a smooth texture and a smooth flavor. Chocolove bars have higher cocoa content which translates to less sugar than other chocolates. The fruit flavors in their chocolate come from freeze dried or infused fruits. What does the cocoa percentage on their wrapper mean? The percentage is the amount by weight of the ingredients derived directly from the cocoa bean. Cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and cocoa liquor are all derived directly from the bean. The higher the cocoa content in a bar, the less sugar the chocolate contains. Since 1995 Chocolove has clearly printed the cocoa content of each bar on its wrappers. They were the first to do so in the United States. Do they give factory tours? They do not give factory tours to the public. Several factors play into this decision including compliance with OSHA and FSA regulations. Can I submit poetry to Chocolove?
