Argencove 70% Cardamom and Orange Dark Chocolate Bar

50 gram bar - Nicaragua

Delicate and aromatic, this 70% dark chocolate highlights the elegance of thoughtfully sourced local ingredients.

Handcrafted with single-origin Nicaraguan cacao, this bar is infused with fragrant cardamom and the peel of naranja agria, a locally-grown bitter orange prized for its bright, citrusy aroma. The cardamom is sourced from cooperatives across Nicaragua, lending a gentle floral warmth, while the orange peel adds vibrance rather than sweetness. Together, they create a beautifully balanced bar where spice and citrus enhance—rather than overshadow—the chocolate itself.

The result is refined and nuanced: citrus notes shimmer across the palate, cardamom brings soft spice and depth, and the cacao anchors everything with richness and poise. Nothing dominates. Each element has room to speak.

Awarded Best in Show at the 2024 Northwest Chocolate Festival, this bar exemplifies Argencove’s strength at pairing origin-driven cacao with local flavors in a way that feels intentional and expressive.

This is a bar for lovers of aromatic spices, citrus-forward chocolate, and subtle complexity—one that rewards slow tasting and close attention.
