Harvesting

Organic dark chocolate medallions are typically made from cacao beans that are grown in tropical regions such as South America, Africa, and Asia. The cacao trees thrive in hot, rainy climates and are usually harvested twice a year, with the main harvest season occurring in the autumn. The cacao pods are carefully hand-picked to ensure only the ripest ones are selected, as this impacts the quality and flavour of the chocolate.

Once harvested, the cacao beans are fermented, dried, and roasted to bring out their rich, intense flavour. The beans are then ground into a paste, known as chocolate liquor, which is the base for all chocolate products. To create dark chocolate, this liquor is mixed with sugar and cocoa butter, and sometimes a small amount of vanilla is added for flavour. The resulting mixture is then conched, a process of continuously mixing and aerating the chocolate to develop its smooth texture and remove any bitterness.

The natural raw product of organic dark chocolate contains antioxidants, flavonoids, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc. Some manufacturers may also enrich their dark chocolate with additional nutrients, vitamins, or minerals to enhance its nutritional profile, making it a delicious and healthful treat. The final product is a deep, luscious brown colour, reflecting the high cacao content and the careful processing methods used to create these indulgent medallions.

The organic nature of Organic Dark Chocolate Medallions means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Dark Chocolate Medallions in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
