3 x 60 gram Dark Chocolate Bars - 70% Brazil, 85% Brazil, 100% Brazil
Notes from Our Chocolate Curator
In the shop, our customers have been loving higher and higher percentage chocolate. Sometimes they're looking for something that's lower sugar but still feels like a treat, and other times they've gone all the way to the dark side with today's craft chocolate makers, loving unabashedly intense bars. Something has changed in the last ~10 years with 90% and 100% bars, where makers have honed their craft to produce high-percentage bars that have nuanced flavor and aren't chalky and bitter (hello, baking chocolate!). In this set, you can join the cacao ride with us and try Mission Chocolate's Brazil bars in three percentages: 70%, 85%, and 100%. Which will be your favorite? You might be surprised.
About the Bars
70% Brazil
Mission Chocolate’s award-winning 70% Brazil bar was its first made with cacao from the Brazilian Amazon. It melts creamy and smooth, opening with roasted nut and light tannic notes before moving into candied orange, honey, caramel, and dark chocolate pudding. Of the three bars in the set, this is the most immediately approachable—but there’s plenty here to keep a serious chocolate lover interested.
85% Brazil
The 85% takes the cacao intensity up a notch while staying impressively polished. Made with Brazilian cacao, organic sugar, and cocoa butter, it has deep chocolate flavor layered with dried fruit, subtle earthiness, and a gentle acidity that keeps the richness from becoming heavy. When we let it melt slowly, the texture feels smooth and velvety rather than austere, and the flavors build gradually into a long, clean finish. This is the sweet spot for anyone who loves very dark chocolate but still wants a little sugar to round out the edges.
100% Brazil
At 100%, there’s nowhere for the cacao to hide—and that’s exactly what makes this bar so compelling. Made only with Brazilian cacao and cocoa butter, it is completely unsweetened, yet the experience is far more nuanced than old-school baking chocolate. We taste deep earthy cacao first, followed by brighter fruit notes that emerge as the chocolate melts and opens on the palate. Intense but surprisingly expressive, this is the bar that lets you experience Brazilian cacao in its most direct form—and it may be the one that surprises you most.
