Good news for pure cocoa lovers: the four highest-rated products are all dark chocolates, rich in antioxidants and low in added sugars.
Dark 100% Chocolate Stella: the ultimate according to Yuka
She’s the big winner of this selection! Chocolat Stella’s Dark 100% bar gets a score of 88/100 on Yuka. Made in Switzerland, it stands out for its minimalist composition. In fact, it only has two ingredients: cocoa paste and cocoa butter. No added sugar!
Organic, fair trade (Fairtrade label) and produced with respect for the environment (MyClimate and FSC labels), this 100% cocoa bar offers an intense experience, ideal for dark chocolate purists.
Its 70 g format is priced around 2.70 euros: a reasonable price for an exceptional product.
72% Haitian dark chocolate from Terra Etica: the fair trade grand cru
In second place, Yuka distinguishes the 72% Haiti Dark Chocolate from Terra Etica, rated 81/100. This organic and fair trade chocolate highlights Criollo cocoa, a rare variety grown in Haiti.
Softer than the 100% Stella version, it seduces with its balance between bitterness and roundness, while retaining a beautiful aromatic intensity.
Its price: 2.94 euros for 100 g of pure ethical pleasure.
Extra dark chocolate 85% from Hema: the pleasant surprise
Third in the Yuka ranking, Hema® Extra dark chocolate 85% has a score of 77/100. A real surprise from the Dutch brand known for its low-cost homewares!
At 2.25 euros per 100 g, it is the most affordable tablet in this selection. And yet, it rivals the best thanks to its high cocoa content and a sober composition. A great discovery for lovers of full-bodied chocolate without breaking the bank.
Terra Etica 85% Madagascar dark chocolate: the aromatic nugget
Fourth place once again goes to Terra Etica®, with its 85% Madagascar dark chocolate, rated 75/100. Made from beans grown in the Sambirano valley, this organic grand cru reveals notes of citrus and red fruits, without excessive bitterness.
Sold for around 3.09 euros per 100 g bar, this chocolate is as good for the palate as it is for the planet thanks to its fair and ethical manufacturing.
In short, choosing quality dark chocolate, rich in cocoa and low in sugar, is as much a taste pleasure as it is a gesture for your health. And thanks to Yuka, choosing the right tablet has never been easier.
