Nicolas Berger Columbian Dark Chocolate 65%

Nicolas Berger Columbian Dark Chocolate 65% reflects Nicolas Berger’s meticulous bean‑to‑bar philosophy, grounded in precision roasting, deep respect for terroir, and a commitment to producing pure‑origin couvertures without additives or shortcuts. As a master chocolatier and cocoa‑bean roaster, Berger selects exceptional beans from trusted partners globally, ensuring each chocolate expresses the identity of its origin with clarity and balance, qualities highly valued by professional chefs.
The cocoa used in this couverture is sourced from the Guaviare region of Colombia, an area defined by rich Amazonian biodiversity, river‑nourished soils, and ethically driven reforestation initiatives. Since 2016, local growers, including families transitioning from illicit crops to sustainable cocoa cultivation, have been developing high‑quality Criollo and Trinitario varieties. These beans produce a flavour profile characterised by dulce‑de‑leche notes, soft orange aromas, and a gentle bitterness, making this chocolate both expressive and versatile across applications.
With its 65% cocoa content, this couverture offers a smooth, approachable profile while retaining enough structure for professional pastry work. Nicolas Berger Columbian Dark Chocolate 65% performs reliably in ganache, glazes, ice cream, sorbets, mousses, creams, and chocolate beverages, providing chefs with a balanced chocolate suitable for both contemporary and classic preparations.
