Ara Chocolat 70% Dark Chocolate Bar with Nyons AOC Olives

65 gram bar - Paris, France

This bar is a bold expression of creativity from Ara Chocolat’s master chocolatier, Andrés. Using Ara's Tingo María 70% grand cru cacao from Peru as the base, he marries it with the subtle elegance of Tanche olives from Nyons, one of France’s most celebrated olive varieties.

The Tanche olives, grown on the Chauvin family plantation near Nyons, hold a special place in French culinary history. They were the first olives in France to receive an Appellation of Origin (AOC) in 1968 and later an AOP in 1996. Their delicate, fruity sweetness pairs beautifully with the richness of dark chocolate, creating a harmony that is both unexpected and deeply satisfying.

Each bite delivers an explosion of flavors—deep cacao notes softened by the gentle fruitiness of olives—a pairing that lingers on the palate with elegance.

A rare and adventurous bar for those who love the intersection of tradition and innovation.
