Friis-Holm – La Dalia, 85%

The Best Low-sugar Dark Chocolate in the World 2023

International Chocolate Awards – Gold

Friis-Holm’s La Dalia 85% chocolate is part of their playfully named ‘Lazy Cocoa Growers Blend’ series. This unique line emerged when their farmers declined to sort the cacao beans, leading to a delightful mix of varieties in each bar. The result? A complex and vibrant chocolate experience.

This 85% dark chocolate offers an intense flavor profile characterized by a pronounced acidity and distinct mineral notes. Unlike its 60% and 70% counterparts, which feature prominent berry flavors, the 85% version showcases a different kind of acidity that perfectly balances the intensity of the cacao.

The vibrant acidity in this bar serves a crucial purpose: it lightens and elevates the chocolate, preventing the overwhelming intensity often associated with high-percentage cacao products. This creates a more nuanced and enjoyable tasting experience for dark chocolate enthusiasts.

La Dalia 85% is part of a series that includes 60%, 70%, and 100% varieties, each offering its own unique flavour journey through the world of premium cacao.
