Dark Chocolate with Sour Cherry Pieces

Organic dark chocolate with fruity sour cherries

Berger Confiserie's Dark Chocolate with Sour Cherry Pieces is a dark bar with 70 percent cocoa and crunchy fruit pieces, vegan, organic and Fairtrade. Bittersweet chocolate and tart red fruit, a pair that challenges and complements each other, dark and lively at once.

Dark Chocolate with Sour Cherry Pieces is Berger Confiserie's name for a dark chocolate with 70 percent cocoa and a good 5 percent dried sour cherries, made entirely without milk and therefore vegan by nature. The bittersweet chocolate meets the zesty acidity of the red fruit: bittersweet, fruity, lively. Five ingredients, dark and honest, and it really needs nothing more.

Dark bitterness, tart fruit

First the bittersweet snap of the dark bar, then the fruit, playing its fruity acidity against the bitterness of the cocoa. An interplay that keeps every bite exciting.

The 70 percent cocoa brings roasted bitterness and depth, and the dried fruit sets small, tart accents in between that never turn sugary. It is a bittersweet, grown-up kind of nibbling, in which fruit and chocolate keep each other lively and you won't get enough of it any time soon. At 5.21 percent, there is a noticeable share of fruit in this bar. Fruity, tart, lively – this is how dark chocolate tastes when the fruit has its say.

A few ingredients, dark and vegan

The bar contains only cocoa mass, raw cane sugar, cocoa butter, sour cherries 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 to shine. If you like dark chocolate and fruit, you have come to exactly the right place.

Almost 95 percent of this bar is Fairtrade certified, and with real fruit in a bar, it hardly gets any higher than that. The cherries are genuinely dried fruit, not flavoring. You'll find the bar among our chocolate bars, next to the plain organic dark chocolate.

Dark craftsmanship from Lofer

In Lofer, Berger Feinste Confiserie fine-tunes its dark bars so that cocoa and fruit 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. A tart fruit in particular needs just the right amount, so that it enlivens rather than tastes sharp, an approach Christine and Hubert have followed from the very beginning. You'll find another dark fruit variety in the dark chocolate with raspberry quark.

Over cherry cream and with port

The bar holds 90 g of dark chocolate with sour cherries, for breaking into pieces 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 in the cupboard, it keeps its aroma and fruit for a long time. At room temperature the fruit unfolds most beautifully.

The dark berry fruit of a full-bodied red wine meets the sour cherry here, and chopped over a Black Forest cherry cream, the bar returns to the fruit. With a glass of port or a strong coffee, 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.
