OUR CHOCOLATE

At Green & Black’s our aim is to create great tasting chocolate. We believe that every step from bean to bar is equally important – whether it’s using the finest organically grown cocoa beans or taking that extra time and care to bring out the intense flavour that has become our trademark.

	DARK 70% Cocoa solids are a combination of cocoa mass and cocoa butter. The latter is there to coat each individual cocoa and sugar particle, allowing the chocolate to melt beautifully and cleanly in the mouth, revealing intense, bittersweet chocolate aromas. Available in 100g and 20g bars.		MILK (34% cocoa solids) A darker shade of milk chocolate. We use more cocoa mass in our milk chocolate than the majority of chocolate producers, therefore placing the emphasis on the chocolate rather than the milk. Available in 100g and 20g bars.
	MAYA GOLD The first product to be awarded with the Fairtrade Mark back in 1994. Traditionally the Maya Indians in southern Belize flavoured their cocoa with spices. We recapture this by blending rich, dark chocolate with a refreshing twist of orange that is perfectly balanced by the warmth of cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of vanilla. Available in 100g and 20g bars. For more information on Maya Gold and Fairtrade, please see 'OUR STORY'.		WHITE To make our white chocolate we use cocoa butter, pressed directly from the crushed cocoa beans. The smooth, creamy taste comes predominately from the full cream milk and Bourbon vanilla. Available in 100g and 20g bars
	ALMOND We take whole organic almonds, with their skins left on for an extra nutty taste, and mould them into bars using our milk chocolate – darker than most and all the better for it. Available in 100g bars.		CARAMEL Although popular, caramel is often perceived to be too sweet. The solution was to make a classic caramel and blend it with our cocoa-rich milk chocolate and add a pinch or two of sea salt to cut through the sweetness. Only then could it be filled into a shell made from our darker shade of milk chocolate. Available in 100g bars.
	HAZELNUT & CURRANT The rich, intense flavour of our dark chocolate is balanced with the sunburnt sweetness of organic currants and the toasted, nutty crunch of organic chopped hazelnuts. Available in 100g bars.		MINT The freshness of mint, whilst wonderfully clean and invigorating, can overpower other flavours when they are combined. For this reason, the goal for the mint bar was to achieve the correct ratio of dark chocolate shell to mint fondant filling. We hope you agree that neither the chocolate nor the mint dominate, but instead complement each other perfectly. Available in 100g bars.

HOT CHOCOLATE
To make our hot chocolate we blend our dark chocolate with raw cane sugar, and cocoa powder pressed from the same cocoa beans as the chocolate, to add extra intensity. When added to hot, fresh milk the result is a cocoa-rich chocolate drink with a creamy froth, a rounded flavour provided by the chocolate and a balanced sweetness. Available in 300g jars.

COCOA POWDER
The cocoa beans used to make our Fairtrade cocoa are harvested at the perfect point of ripeness, then carefully fermented and dried to maximize the smooth, complex flavours of this delicious cocoa. It is this wonderful depth of flavour that makes our cocoa ideal for recipes. Available in 100g tubs.

If you think our chocolate tastes different, perhaps it's because our cocoa beans aren't sprayed with chemicals.
