50 gram bar - Granada, Nicaragua
This thoughtfully composed 70% dark chocolate draws inspiration from the simple tradition of turning ripe bananas into a dessert all on their own.
Made with single-origin Nicaraguan cacao and real banana, this bar invites you to slow down and savor—revealing layers of flavor as you go. Natural banana sweetness emerges first, followed by gentle warmth from cinnamon and clove. Rather than overpowering the chocolate, the spices are restrained, adding depth and roundness that complements both the fruit and the cacao.
The banana inclusions, scattered across the back of the bar, add texture and reinforce the bar’s dessert-like character. Together, the elements recall familiar flavors—baked or caramelized bananas, lightly spiced and comforting—while remaining unmistakably chocolate at its core. Thanks to the fruit’s natural sweetness, the bar tastes softer and sweeter than a typical 70% dark, without losing complexity or balance.
Recognized with a Silver Award at the 2021 International Chocolate Awards in the Dark Chocolate with Inclusions category, this bar showcases Argencove’s ability to weave local ingredients and thoughtful technique into chocolate that feels both grounded and refined.
If you love the pairing of banana and chocolate—or are curious how spice can deepen dark chocolate without dominating it—this bar delivers warmth, texture, and sophistication in every bite.
