Natural, non-Dutched cocoa yields antioxidant-rich chocolate

Our chocolate contains high levels of antioxidants, based on independent and USDA test results ... thanks to gentle processing and use of non-Dutched* cocoa.

Brunswick Laboratories tested our chocolate bars in 2010, and found antioxidant levels that rival the high, “benchmark” levels found in natural, non-Dutched cocoa powder.

To see how our Extra Dark Organic Chocolate compares to standard chocolate and cocoa, click to our Antioxidants in Cocoa & Chocolate chart.

*Because alkalizing ("Dutching") cocoa cuts its antioxidant content drastically, we insist on non-Dutched, cocoa for our chocolate, which is gently processed to further protect its antioxidants.

Our Extra-Dark Organic Chocolate is hand-crafted with intensely aromatic cocoa grown in Latin America and the Caribbean, and boasts a whopping 80% cocoa solids … rich in flavor and antioxidants.

(The antioxidant content and capacity of cocoa solids exceeds that of all common foods, including tea, berries, or grapes).

And – unlike almost all chocolate – ours is made with raw cocoa that has not been treated with alkali ... a standard process called Dutching, which destroys most of cocoa's beneficial antioxidants.

Health benefits

The flavonoid antioxidants abundant in extra-dark chocolate (catechins, procyanidins, and more) appear to promote healthy blood-fat profiles, support artery function, and reduce blood stickiness (platelet activation).

The 7 grams of saturated fat per half-bar consist of stearic acid from cocoa butter, which has no known adverse effects on blood cholesterol profiles.

Savored sparingly, our Extra-Dark Organic Chocolate is as heart-healthful as it is soul-satisfying.
