Dark Chocolate with Orange

Organic dark chocolate with orange, bittersweet and fruity

Berger Confiserie's Dark Chocolate with Orange is a dark bar with 70 percent cocoa and a fine citrus aroma, vegan, organic and Fairtrade. Bittersweet chocolate and bright citrus fruit, a pair made for each other, dark and radiant at once.

Dark Chocolate with Orange is Berger Confiserie's name for a dark chocolate with 70 percent cocoa, refined with just under 2 percent natural orange extract and made entirely without milk. The citrus fruit breaks the roasted bitterness of the cocoa with a bright acidity. Only five ingredients, vegan by nature, a dark classic.

Dark bitterness, bright citrus

The first impression is bittersweet and dark, then the fruit arrives and adds a bright, zesty accent on top that lightens the cocoa.

The 70 percent cocoa brings roasted bitterness and depth, and the essential citrus oil lays a fresh touch over it that recalls grated zest. Together this creates an interplay of dark and bright that never becomes too sweet, because no milk smooths the edges. Fruity, spicy, elegant – this is how dark chocolate with orange tastes when the two stay on equal terms. A piece for after a meal, not for in between, to be left to melt slowly.

A few ingredients, dark and vegan

The bar contains only cocoa mass, raw cane sugar, cocoa butter, orange extract and vanilla, all from organic farming, all made without milk.

Because no milk is added, the dark bar is vegan by nature, dark chocolate just as it should be. Without cream and butter, the cocoa comes through more clearly and the fruit gets more room. If you usually find dark chocolate too severe, the freshness here will surprise you.

Organic farming applies to every single ingredient here, from the cocoa and the orange extract to the vanilla. Five ingredients are all it takes, and 98 percent of the bar is Fairtrade certified. You'll find the light version as the milk chocolate with orange among our chocolate bars.

Dark craftsmanship from Lofer

In Lofer, Berger Feinste Confiserie fine-tunes its dark bars so that cocoa and aroma keep each other in balance.

Hubert and Christine Berger started out in 1994 in a garage in Salzburg's Saalach Valley; today the company has around 100 employees and nine shops. With 70 percent cocoa in particular, getting the dose right is tricky, because a dark bar forgives no heavy hand, a principle Christine and Hubert have held to from the very beginning. For pure depth without fruit, reach for the organic dark chocolate.

With port, with Cointreau, in a mousse

The bar holds 100 g of dark chocolate with orange, for breaking and sharing. With a strong espresso, a glass of red wine or on its own after a meal, the bittersweet bar is especially lovely. Stored cool and dry, away from strongly scented neighbors, it keeps its aroma and melt for a long time. At room temperature it melts slowly, and in small pieces the citrus lingers longer.

A full-bodied red wine sets its dark fruit beside the citrus, and a piece can be melted for a chocolate mousse. With a glass of port or a Cointreau, too, the dark fruit really shines. As a gift, too, the dark bar brings joy, as does the rest of the Berger range with its dark and light varieties.
