100% DATE-SWEETENED CHOCOLATE
View Ingredients

We blend Dominican cacao, ground dates, and pure vanilla bean, crafting a super dark bar with a thick melt and long, fudgy finish. The dates are ground down, but their fiber and slightly sticky quality remains, creating a thick, slightly chewy melt. It's a texture that sticks to the top of your mouth in a pleasant way, letting the chocolate linger a little longer than usual. Who would have a problem with that? We taste notes of caramelized fruits and mousse. Incredible what a fruit seed and a fruit can do together.

    Perfection

    This arrived soft, but not melted & not damaged. The flavor is rich and fudge-like. Not sweet, but not bitter. I really hope Raaka decides to keep this. I love real milk (not vegan "milk") chocolate by HU, however, as far as truly dark chocolates go, this is superb. So satisfying. It's perfection.

    Note: I also ordered their unsweetened "Pure Cacao & Strawberry & Coconut" that I had my eye on for a long time. It's disgusting! Just awful. I mention this, plus the HU to give you an idea of my tastes to help you decide what you might like. All I know is that for a sugar free (obviously the dates are the sugar) 80% dark chocolate, Pure Cacao & Dates & Vanilla is AMAZING!

FAQs

What does unroasted mean?

Cacao beans are the seeds of the cacao fruit, harvested and prepared by producers at origin. Every bean has a flavor profile shaped by the soil and climate it grows in, as well as the care each producer takes in cultivating and processing it. This fruity flavor is often roasted away in favor of that classic “chocolatey” note. We love this fruit-forward flavor, and we make our chocolate without roasting so you can enjoy it too.

Is this chocolate vegan?

You bet. All of our bars are 100% vegan. Some dark chocolates still contain milk powder, but ours do not. Instead, we make vegan "milk style" and white chocolate bars with oats and coconut.

What does this chocolate taste like?

Every recipe we make is inspired by the unique flavors of the bean we’re working with. If you’re curious about a specific flavor, check out the flavor page and the reviews! If you still need help, feel free to email us.

How do you ship chocolate when it's hot out?

Don't fret, we check the weather before mailing every order. If it's going to be hotter than 75ºF anywhere en route, we use insulation and ice packs to ensure you receive your chocolate in perfect condition!

Do you test your chocolate for heavy metals?

We regularly test our products to ensure they meet Prop 65 and EU standards for heavy metal content. You can find our latest test results on our FAQ page.
