Gourmet chocolate bars come in many different flavors and varieties, but to find the best we evaluated 12 brands with at least 70% cacao to land on our six favorites.

But it’s not just how much cacao is in a bar that matters: Where it comes from and how it’s been sourced makes a difference, too. Gourmet chocolate tends to be single-origin, meaning the cacao was sourced from a single country, which will be clearly indicated on the package. This can produce specific tasting notes, just as an Ethiopian coffee will have inherent flavors different from—generally speaking—a Brazilian coffee.
To evaluate the best gourmet chocolate, we rounded up 12 bars that were at least 70% cacao and had received accolades or awards for their quality. They ranged in cost from $3.99 per bar up to about $13, although, happily, price wasn’t always an indicator of quality.TCHO’s Dark Duo is a blend of Peruvian and Ghanaian cacao with a highly accessible balance of bitterness, fruitiness, and nuttiness.
This bar was pliant and flexible but still had a nice snap. The cacao beans lead the way, as most testers immediately detected a strong nib flavor and a tea-like bitterness. It mellows beautifully as it melts in the mouth, making this a fantastic bar to sit with and savor. It’s gorgeously smooth with an enjoyably viscous, melty texture.The aroma was overwhelmingly earthy, with some testers detecting hints of tree bark and dirt. At just 1.9 ounces, it’s smaller than most bars we tasted.
