Questions We're often asked about Firetree’s High Cocoa Chocolate
High cocoa chocolate, like Firetree’s 80% to 100% range, contains a greater proportion of cocoa solids—resulting in less sugar and far more flavour. It’s not just richer, it’s more revealing: a true expression of origin.
All our high cocoa bars, thins, hot chocolate and couverture are made from single-estate beans, each with their own distinct flavour profile. When chocolate is made bean-to-bar and handled with precision, high cocoa becomes an experience—bold, aromatic, and layered. It’s also naturally rich in antioxidants, giving you another reason to indulge.
Not with Firetree. While high cocoa chocolate typically contains little to no sugar, bitterness isn’t a given. Through careful sourcing and whole bean roasting, we bring out the full character of each cocoa origin—balancing boldness with smoothness.
Our 80–100% cocoa bars are known for their elegance and approachability. Expect rich red fruit, subtle spice, or notes of black tea—not the harsh bitterness people sometimes expect from darker chocolate.
It can be. Higher cocoa content means less sugar and more of cocoa’s natural goodness—including flavonoids, which are linked to heart and brain health. Some studies even suggest health benefits in populations with diets high in unsweetened cocoa.
We don’t make health claims, but we do know this: when you choose high cocoa chocolate that’s been made with care, like Firetree’s, you’re getting flavour and depth that align with mindful eating. No additives, just pure ingredients.
