Description
A 67% dark chocolate bar from Sweden’s Standout Chocolate. This Swedish Favourites release pairs single-origin Dominican cacao with organic Calabrian liquorice and beech-smoked sea salt to capture a traditional Nordic profile.
Craft & Origin
Standout Chocolate sources organic cacao from the Öko Caribe cooperative in the Duarte Province of the Dominican Republic. Founder Fredrik Martinsson processes each batch in Kållered, Sweden, utilizing low-temperature roasting and stone grinding over several days. He incorporates organic liquorice root harvested in Calabria, Italy, alongside unrefined sea salt cold-smoked over pure beech wood shavings. Packaging features an FSC-certified outer box and a compostable biofilm inner wrapper.
Flavor & Texture
Deep anise and subtle wood smoke notes. A smooth texture with a firm snap.
How to Use
Serve at room temperature as a standalone tasting piece or alongside peated whiskey.
Why We Like It
A disciplined interpretation of a classic Swedish flavor pairing that relies on high-grade ingredients rather than artificial additives to achieve balance.
