Indulge in "Dark Milk"...



I had the immense pleasure of touring Scharffen Berger chocolate factory at their location in Berkeley, CA and tasting samples of their finest chocolate products. I must say: the highlight of my visit was having a piece of "Dark Milk" melt in my mouth.

The 68% Dark Milk is a "blend of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and finely ground cacao that offers a unique experience: the fruity, complex flavors of cacao united with the rich, caramel flavors of milk chocolate."

Just imagine biting into crunchy nibs (cocoa granules), softening your palate with a smooth milky texture while still enjoying extra- rich and deep flavors of chocolate. If you're a serious dark chocolate lover like me, i promise you'll love Dark Milk. It's a marriage made in heaven...

Manufacturer Fact:
"the first ‘bean-to-bar' chocolate manufacturer established in the United States in the past 50 years." For a complete list of products, click here.

Nutrition Fact: Dark chocolate contains more antioxidants than milk or white chocolate as well as 65 percent or higher cocoa content. The latter 2 cannot make any health claims.
Dark chocolate is heart-healthy, helps lower blood pressure, acts as an anti-depressant as well as a stimulant.
