"High cacao chocolate" is characterized by its suppressed sweetness, slight bitterness, and deep taste. It is popular as an adult snack that gives you a feeling of satisfaction with a small amount.
There are many imported products, but the ones that are easy to obtain are those of domestic manufacturers. It is placed at convenience stores and supermarkets. We often see the "Chocolate effect" and "Care de Chocolat" series.
Around 70% of cacao, which is not too bitter and easy to eat, is a standard
Until now, bite-sized simple chocolate bar was the mainstream, but recently, "with ingredients" such as nuts and fruits are appearing one after another. Introducing 5 high cacao chocolates with ingredients released within the last 6 months.
