Description

Schell Dark Chocolate Saint Domingue Orange, 70% Cocoa

A touch of the exotic – this exquisite dark chocolate combines 70% Trinitario cocoa from Santo Domingo with the lively freshness of orange zest and the subtle crunch of handmade hazelnut brittle. The result is a perfectly balanced harmony of citrus brightness and rich cocoa depth.

The rare Trinitario bean, a natural hybrid of the refined Criollo and robust Forastero varieties, is celebrated for its fruity, slightly nutty aroma and well-rounded cocoa intensity. Grown sustainably in Santo Domingo, this cocoa embodies the island’s rich terroir and centuries-old chocolate-making tradition.

A Perfect Harmony of Orange & Chocolate

Delicate strands of candied orange peel and a touch of natural orange oil infuse this chocolate with a zesty, slightly bitter-sweet note that perfectly complements the deep, full-bodied cocoa. The combination of fruit and chocolate creates a bright yet elegant flavour that lingers beautifully on the palate.

Artisanal Hazelnut Brittle for a Special Crunch

To add texture and warmth, Schell’s chocolatiers fold in handmade hazelnut brittle, roasted to perfection to reveal its caramelised depth. The nutty sweetness enhances the cocoa’s richness while creating a delightful contrast to the vibrant citrus.

Pairing Recommendations

Saint Domingue Orange pairs wonderfully with refined teas that contrast its citrus and nutty notes. A smooth Matcha or elegant Gyokuro highlights its delicate sweetness, while a malty Assam or fruity Amba Hand Rolled Tips black tea enhances the chocolate’s rich, aromatic depth. For a more indulgent experience, try it with a fine aged rum or hazelnut liqueur – the perfect balance of fruit, spice, and cocoa.
