Chocolove Questions & Answers Why is Chocolove better than conventional chocolate bars? 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. Is Chocolove vegan? They do not claim that Chocolove bars are vegan. Most of their dark chocolate arrives at their facility as kosher parve which means it is completely free of milk products, according to Jewish dietary law. The remainder arrives kosher dairy, which means the dark chocolate was made on equipment that also makes milk chocolate. Chocolove has separate equipment for melting and molding milk chocolate and dark chocolate. They take measures to assure that milk chocolate is kept away from dark chocolate. You can expect their organic dark chocolate to be the least likely to contain any traces of milk chocolate. Is Chocolove Dutch processed?
